$3.54 a gallon, we pay £1.20 per litre which works out in dollars to roughly $9.08 (calculating litres per gallon and the higher pound)
The majority of our cost is in taxes. But high taxes don't keep people out of their cars because public transport here is expensive, overcrowded in the cities and poorly maintained nearly everywhere. But don't let any of this keep you from visiting!
