Its simple enough - government has to raise money from taxes. you have to tax something. Tax fuel and because it is expensive people buy cleverer cars which use less. The cost to the economy is exactly the same, because the government had to get that money somehow, but you saved a bit of pollution, made the city smell better, reduced CO2 pollution a tiny bit. And you also made your economy more robust, because if fuel prices suddenly take off companies do not have to suddenly adjust to massive percentage increases in fuel costs, and they already use less fuel than places where it is cheap. If things get really bad, a government can even ease off a bit on the fuel tax while your already fuel efficient companies laugh their heads off at their american competitors who just cant re-tool for expensive fuel fast enough. Oil prices are only going one way long term, so get used to it.
Oh and i make it about $9.40 after conversion.
There was a TV program the other day about someone whose hobby is restoring tanks. They filmed him going to the garage. £900 I think they said. But you get repect in traffic.
