I'm not sure whether it's ever been illegal to do your own filling up at a filling station in the UK. Certainly most attended filling stations became self-service by the mid 1970's and now there are just a handful of attended filling stations left...usually in very remote locations in Scotland.
Taxes on fuel in the UK accounts for the majority of the overall cost of fuel. My local filling station is currently selling unleaded at £1.20/liters and diesel at £1.22/liters. That's roughly £5.46/Imperial Gallon for unleaded. Please note, though, that one imperial gallon is equivalent to approximately 1.2 U.S. liquid gallons.
