We've got a truck arriving at the house tomorrow morning for

Thats funny, the price of gas up here is set to go UP 6.4

cents per
litre overnight. This, blamed on the RISE in the price of a

The news says the average is down a penny but the stations

still the same from what I can tell. I would like to see it

$4.09 for 89octane 10% ethanol *blend here.
Last time I bought boat gas I got 50 gallons for $3.57 or so. It
lasted me almost 2 months but we were busy and did not boat as

much as
usual. If I don't see a big drop soon I may just buy a few cans

and
watch the price.


I would buy right now. *Unions in Yemen have just caused some

By August you might very well see north of $5 at the pumps

It's going up another 1.41 cents per litre. New price = $1.41.6 per
litre.


Whats a litre?


About a US quart. *Everyone else in the world uses metric, not imperial
or US measurement. *US is a holdout in some businesses. Medicine,
science and much international trade is now in metric.

Take the UK, even they now do litres having abandoned the Imperial
measure some time ago.

Litre is the common spelling, however for US, liter is the official
spelling.

So for a rough estimate, 4 litres is a US gallon. *But to be entirely
accurate, 3.7854118 litres in a US gallon.

1 Liter is 1.05668821 US quarts.

Clear as mud?
