Re: Visit my Photobucket Album - Invitation from rob426uk

[Robert <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill!
It helps sharing the costs with my brother, but gas is still expensive over 
here compared to most other countries.
It has come down in price over the last month or so, down to £0.84 per litre 
(damn metrification!) from around £1.00 per litre a few months ago. That's 
about $6 per US gallon by my reckoning for regular unleaded (95 octane). But 
we fill up with super unleaded (97 or more) so would pay a bit more than 
that.
How's it doing over there? You still catching up?
I remember my 1st trip to the US in '85, it was around $1 per gallon, and 
was not much more than that years later when I returned for my honeymoon in 
'93.
I know it's gone up a heck of a lot in recent times (I was over in FL & NC a 
year ago) so you have my sympathy. Well, some sympathy...... :-)

Robert
