If you believe gas has gone up in price since then, check out the
price of water.

Good point but I bet we still have it cheaper than most Continents...
$0.70/ lt average in Ontario Canada right now. Wonder what Dave Milne is
paying in Scotland?

We pay 78.9p per litre, which @ 3.8 litres to your gallon would be 3 quid a
gallon or rougly $5.50.
We have not been hit so badly by the recent hike in gas prices because a) we
almost started riotting the last time petrol went up b) the pound has
strengthened against the dollar from 1.40 to 1.84.

Fortunately, my Waggy runs on gas [ propane] which is 1/2 the price of
petrol [ gas :-) ]
