UK: Unleaded @ 89.9pence p/litre! :D

In the Netherlands we have one of the highest prices.
In april '08 it was very high, 1,62 euro for 1 liter 98 unleaded. That's about 2 us dollar / 1,4 uk pound with the current exchange rates (1 liter = 0.264 US gallons).

Nowadays we pay 1,20 euro for 1 liter 95 unleaded (and 1,25 euro for V-Power, that's 97 octane over here). That will be 1,52 us dollar / 1,03 uk pound).
 
It's pretty good living here and yep, the weather certainly helps. In the 6 years I've lived here I've never had to defrost the windscreen or drive in snow. I think there might be speed cameras in the major cities like Madrid / Barcelona but where I live on the coast I haven't seen any. It's a great place to own a car like the Zed :D
