Local Gas Prices

[Stuart Moore]

Local for me means the Midlands in the UK and prices here a just 
starting to touch 1ukp per litre, there are 3.785 US Gallons per litre 
and the exchange rate gives us 1 UKP = 1.78930 USD thus we have a price 
of around $6.77 per gallon!! A lot bigger proportion of that money is 
tax than in the USA of course but it hits the pocket just the same. Good 
job we have a smaller country and do not have to travel as far :-)

You might also like to note that any driving large cars especially 4x4s 
is starting to be treated as if they have the plague on environmental 
grounds. Engine sizes over 2 litres are considered excessive by most 
people (and even 2 litres is a bit of a luxury). Still, even with 
smaller engines, most people seem to average over 80 miles per hour on 
the motorways.
