I think you have liters and gallons backwards, unless the British gallon had shrank significantly with the Brexit.

umm, nope British Gallon = 4.546090L US Gallon = 3.785412 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon

Though I had forgotten that the US used a different one. So my maths is off above. Thanks for pointing that out!

Using the US Gallon: £1.21 per liter == $1.61 per liter == $6.09 per Gallon.

I meant that "1L = 4.54609 Gallons " seems to be off a bit.
