Odds 'n Sods:
My old friend Jeff moved to England to get his final sheep skin--a doctorate
degree. He tells me that the price of gasoline ("petrol") now averages
£1.09 GBP per liter in the Thames Valley, and that he has seen it advertised
for
as much as £1.50 GBP/liter out on the highways. At current exchange rates, £1.50
GBP equals $2.97 USD. Now, multiplying liters to US gallons (x 3.785) that
equates to a heart-stopping $11.24 USD per gallon. Ouch! (For
comparison, I most recently paid $2.98 per gallon, locally, but I've seen
it as high
as $3.05) OBTW,
Jeff mentioned that SurvivalBlog readers in England might want to get
