Not sure if that is Regular, but I just paid £2.059 for Premium at Esso.

To be honest I have decided against going to the Nationals with my Big Block this year as it will cost near on £230 solely for fuel round trip, taking into account 10 mpg (imperial) and over £2.00 per litre for premium unleaded E5. Works out about £9.30 per Imp Gallon. Which is about $11.40 even at todays exchange rate. With everything else that's a very expensive day out for one.

I think this is something many owners of American cars will now be faced with. The cost of actually using them .

Probably regular as they show the cheapest pump price.

Hopefully not. In all my years of driving, once I started to use Diesel cars as well as petrol, I’ve only ever put just over a gallon of petrol into a diesel car before I realised. Fortunately it was petrol into diesel so no damage. Just filled up with diesel and away I went. Had it been the other way, no starting the motor, and tank cleaned out.Hope you're not putting that in the Corvette
it is easily done sometimes, especially if you drive using both fuels ( hopefully not at once)

They were talking about the UK being able to display imperial weights and measures post Brexit. I read they wont want the per gallon prices of petrol displayed tho, as then the public will realise how much we are being rinsed.

It is, but the US has always had cheap gas, something that the UK never had. Yes it might have been a reasonable price, but it was never cheap.
In FL when Trump was in power some 18 months ago, gas was $1.80, it’s now $5:20. That’s nearly three times as much. They are really hurting as many have no option to the miles they need to do each week. I suspect smaller cars will be in great demand and the guzzlers will be on the floor. Just like the last time. Chrysler folded as such by it. “ that thing got a hemi” days are long gone.
