$2.06 today. What stinks is that's now considered a great price. Hopefully, it'll go below the 2 mark. bluebird

Not too far below. The break-even point on oil is $56@barrel. Below that, and they start shutting down drilling and exploration.

Then I wouldn't be able to afford these really nice graphics cards... Wink

No, I did not make the Avatar. I pinched them. I have a whole lot stored away.

Do you want some? I sent them all to Red but maybe he did not receive them. Or too lousy to distribute them. Wink

Poor baby, it doesn't look, according to your avatar, that things are getting better for you. I still remember the ouch from prices in Australia.

My apologies to anyone who read this post yesterday - the figures that I gave were total :bs

!!

Here are the correct figures (they are even worse Sad

) :

Gas got to over GBP 4.16 per US gallon ($6.24 US) here a while back but now it has come down a bit to GBP 3.40 (about $5.10 US)... Sad

It should be noted that we pay very high tax on fuel, though.

Note: Gas is priced in litres here (we currently pay 0.90 per litre). We used to buy in gallons but a British gallon is larger than a US gallon (UK = 1.2 US approximately). I used to think that it was simply because a US pint is 16 fluid ounces whereas a British pint is 20 fluid ounces (8 pints in a gallon); however, according to this site, fluid ounces are also slightly different in size (US = 1.041 UK)! Shocked

It is a shame that they cannot spell litre though! Wink
