Yes, petrol prices will move slightly to reflect the oil price, although in the UK the the oil cost is a very small part of the price per litre, tax and fuel duty makes up the majority of the cost. Also as petrol if produced through fractal distillation (separation of crude oil) the price of petrol is most likely to increase slightly through the price of oil.
About £1.35 for a litre of petrol, over £1.40 per litre of diesel.
That depends on which country you are buying the petrol, in the UK the price per litre is currently £1.03 (27th Aug 09)
It varies depending on how far the petrol station is from the refinery and from other competing petrol stations, but the cheapest is around £1.16 a litre (£5.28 per UK gallon - around $10.50).

The price of fuel went up in the UK due to a 2p tax per litre.
I passed my driving test in 1993, and in the UK I distinctly remember the price of unleaded petrol around 44 - 46p! Its trippled since!!
enough petrol to get you to a petrol garage anywhere in the UK
The government has the greatest impact on the price of fossil fuels throughout most of the world, followed by the producers. Certainly in the UK about 75% of the retail price is tax.
I don't know who asked that question, but he must be f***ed in the brain
