LONDON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Motorists are paying $9.67 a gallon for gas in Britain this week as the turmoil in the Middle East roils the oil industry, a trade group says.
RMI Petrol, the British service station association, said the 6-pound barrier had been broken at 267 filling stations and the number would continue to rise quickly in the coming days and become the norm by the middle of next week, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
