It's a gas
So driving along the interstate yesterday, I noticed a billboard for a truck stop. $4.19 per gallon for diesel. I also live in the state with just about the cheapest gas. And to think that 10 years ago this summer, I was buying gas for $.75 per gallon at the Hess on College Ave., totaling maybe $6 a tank.

Ah the good old days when the gallons went up faster than the dollars. And we had to drive up hill both ways too. In the snow. And we liked it.
Good times.
In greater London diesel is about £1.25 per liter ($9.20/gallon), unleaded about £1.15 ($8.50/gallon).
No surprise that there's been a lot of siphoning. Most cars do have fuel tank locks but they appear to be very easily broken.
We've had reports of siphoning here, too. One particularly badly hit: the vans for the local charity for adults with disabilities.
