It's not my main form of transport, petrol costs and the salt on the roads in the winter would make that difficult.
A UK gallon is 1.2* a US gallon - I'd love it to be 1.2 the price

Its the tax that makes it so expensive - approx 80% goes of the gallon price goes in tax.
We don't have to pay any road tax (£210 per year) on classic cars so I save that way.
Driving an old truck is worth the extra though - I'd rather drive half the time in something with sole.
