Note the: "All prices updated March, 2005" on that article - things have
got more expensive since then :-)

> United Kingdom $5.79

e.g. average price in the UK is currently at 1.08 pounds/litre, which
works out at $8.06 USD per (US) gallon at current exchange rates.

Is the Canadian gallon the same as the US gallon, the UK gallon, or
something else entirely? $5 CDN seems to be about $4.90 USD...

cheers
