Hi guys, stop moaning about your prices. Here in the kingdom we have just drifted up a few pence to 81p per litre, that's £3-65 per gallon-imperial or $6-87!! You guys get your petrol in US gallons which I think is slightly less than imperial so probably to equal us in US gallons you would pay around $6.20 ish. Of course being loyal supporters of queen and country we never moan and we have never had a fuel boycott of filling stations and refineries - oh, let's see, for about 3 years. <br />If you consider what the oil companies put into getting a gallon of petrol into your car, the never ending search for new fields, the new technology, the rigs and refineries, the filling station networks and the supply vehicles from super tankers to road tankers and we, over here, pay £3-65 per gallon. Compare this to a brewery that has it's own water supply, buys in natural products from established sources, has delivery costs transporting to established outlets and pay the same tax and duties as the oil companies. Yet they have the bare faced cheek to charge £16-00 per gallon for their beer. Work it out in your area and see if it comes out the same. Don't moan about petrol prices, curse the brewers. Mind your car wouldn't get very far on beer but I wouldn't on petrol. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
