Oh, I wish... by bus it takes me an hour and 10 mins to get to College, a journey that takes 25 mins by Car.

Back in January, I worked it out as $6.30 per US Gallon over here... I would need to work it all out again with the current exchange rate to be accurate but it's still going to cost about double what it does over there. We pay about 95p per litre around here.
EDIT: UK Average petrol prices hit a 5 month high on Tuesday of 91.1p per Litre, which is 344.8p per US Gallon. With the current exchange rate of £1 = $1.88475 (BBC, 12:00 BST 24 May 2006), I work that out as 649.96c (or
$6.50) per Gallon
