4 liters is just a little over a US gallon. (3.7854 L = 1 gallon to be precise). Our fuel prices are expressed in US gallons. When you see us say $3.98 it's actually $3.989 (they have the damned taxes figured to run it up by 9/10 of a cent).
So at $2.27/L it would calculate to: $2.27 x 3.7854 = $8.59/gallon.
Realize though that your fuel prices reflect an ASSLOAD of taxes where ours is a drop in the bucket relatively speaking.
I have to search a bit to find it again but I had a site where I could see what portion of fuel prices was tax for the US and Europe. At the time it figured out that the raw fuel prices were very close to each other when comparing the US and UK. Taxes made the real difference.
