Petrol Costs Too High?

I find that I spend at least £80 on petrol a month at the moment and that is a lot considering I only work 15 minutes away. I have an automatic which I guess is the main reason it consumes so much petrol but the car is economical due to its engine litre.
I just wish the costs of petrol was not so high so I would not have to spend so much each month. Imagine if I worked 30 minutes away and in the traffic it would make it even more expensive!!
Do you find your car uses up petrol a lot and the petrol prices are still too high?

@destimona Also people that comes from Italy put petrol in Switzerland because it's cheaper.

Here the gas fee is increasing and it is not reasonable. Many people complain about it. In fact besides the expensive gas fee, the parking fee is also very expensive and sometimes it is even hard to find a parking lot in the downtown. And you still have to pay for the tax and other charges when you have a car.

Well, at least, the price of petrol come down to what it was. I can't see it going down anymore and I've noticed it going back up.
Now over the pound, I know it was down to $1.58 (1.05) a gallon not a litre in places about a month or so ago.

@gudheart It's gone up here, I saw the other day in Tesco it had gone from 98p a litre to 1.04 in just about a week.

The cost of Petrol in the US had plummeted this past year and we are only paying 1.99 a gallon. I find when I am in the UK that the prices are very high.

So far ours here in our place are not so expensive compared to previous years. But still we consume a lot especially if we go out of town.

yes, but I usually fill the car up whenever I have my 15th and 30th day salary until it gets full tank.

That is a lot to spend on petrol or gas as we say here in Canada! Do you do a lot of pleasure driving as well?
