But the station that was cheapest then hasn't changed in the meantime, and a few others nearby have dropped below the magic $4. I think we're seeing the drop after the traditional Memorial Day increase. We didn't notice the Memorial Day increase because it came on the heels of a steady several-months-long increase.

Driving a Chevy 15 passenger van and filling up a little bit below half way, the price averages $65.

UK petrol prices here: http://www.petrolprices.com/ Note, however, that the Imperial gallon is larger. Current average price at current exchange rates is $2.32 / litre or $8.78 / US gal. Expect the price to increase more in dollar terms when the Saudis stop pricing in US$ which is causing imported inflation at the moment.
