    I know the UK is expensive, but $75 a tank is close to $10 more than my dad pays to fill his big ass truck from near empty

        The price of fuel around here is about $7.25/gallon right now. It ensures driving is a luxury, and promotes other modes of transportation. It also reflects how much the taxes have to be so the government can actually properly maintain the roads.

        My old Subaru Forester would take about 13 gals at most, so that would be $94 to fill an old small SUV. If the person using the $75 number, they could easily be from Europe.
