Looking for petrol by the sounds of it lol I see it has gone up by 2p again in the UK today  Which is $2.02 a gallon now for our US friends. Oh and I use diesel  In Andorra it is about 83 cents - about 57p a litre, rather than the £1 in the UK.

We are nowhere near happy with our fuel prices. They just went up again, not just because of the price of the oil, but also because they added a little tax. Like we didn't pay enough tax on gas already.
Ehr, I just calculated. Regular gas is here $7 the gallon! That's more then double with what you pay.

I think that UK is probably one of the most exprensive rip-off countries in the world.
When I live in the Middle East, petrol was cheaper than water - literally.

And Diesel is more expensive that Petrol now in the UK is a good site for checking on the cheapest fuel in any area of the UK I guess all petrol stations will pass on the 2p a litre price increase made by the government

1 United Kingdom Pounds = 2.04059 US Dollars 1 USD = 0.490054 GBP 1 Liter = 0.264172052358148 Gallons 1 Gallon = 3.785411784 Liters Current average fuel costs for unleaded in London area = 96.9p (pence) per liter So taking 3.785411784 Liters to get 1 gallon = 3.785411784 * 96.9 = 366.8064018696p Then converting the p to GBP = 3.66 then converting 3.66GBP to US Dollar = 7.46917 USD So on average in Essex, London the cost for 1 US Gallon is: $7.47 Weekly U.S. Retail Gasoline Prices, Regular Grade shows about $2.80 per gallon so we pay about 63% less here in the US for Gasonline. Okay we'll quit crying about the price of gas here in the US for now

I don't know but surely, if you do that much mileage, you'd get some sort of credit card with a rewards scheme attached.

It was such a b-e-a- utiful day, today. I couldn't believe it could be so warm (hot?) in October in the UK...! My wife suggested we go and have a 'pub-lunch' locally. Well, I'm not gonna say no am I? Hah, especially as she drives and doesn't drink - what more do you want? Rod (Stewart) often stops by on such days and it's 'luverly' to sit by a stream, chomp on a ploughmans, and enjoy the sunshine. It's been a good day! On re-reading this post.... is going to raise the odd eyebrow... So, please see -- The Wiki on Ploughmans Lunches.
