Gee, how long did it take you to figure this out?
If I drove a 145 miles (233 km) in any one direction from say London, where exactly would that put me and how much of England/Great Britain could I cover? Yet that same distance east from my hometown puts me only two states over in Pennsylvania (where I pick up my products for fund raising twice a month) leaving approximately 45 other states left (not counting Hawaii or Alaska of course) Just to give a better reference, Ohio is about half the size of Great Britain. (approx. 40,000 square miles vs approx. 80,000 square miles)
Think about the distance products have to travel from the East Coast, or even further still, from the West Coast to the Midwest (Ohio) and the fuel cost for those deliveries (diesel here is selling at $4.61 a gallon) And you brits wonder why we're bitching. 
You guys are getting screwed because of the outrageous taxing by your illustrious government. We're getting screwed simple because a bunch of tree-hugging, caribou fucking dumbasses with too much time and money have convinced most liberals in congress that drilling will hurt our environment. Check out the pic below of the t-shirt I'll be receiving next week in the mail:
