We have a car in London - it's a relic from when t'missus lived in rural Scotland. About the only time it gets used is when we're visiting the folks in Cornwall/Scotland or going to the (now-defunct) Yohan plaza.
That having been said - petrol is still far too cheap. Consider - it's a product that takes millions of years to make, plus a complex refining process, before being shipped in from some of the most inhospitable parts of the world. And it's still cheaper than mineral water, which falls from the sky.
