We drove back from Tampa today and saw several gas stations

down from 4+ last week. Later I did some price shopping

on the trawler. After the first couple of calls I was
expecting
something close to $4 but literally struck oil on the
fourth call.
We've got a truck arriving at the house tomorrow morning for
$3.69/gal, all taxes included.

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
barrel o=

oil.

The news says the average is down a penny but the stations
near me ar=

still the same from what I can tell. I would like to see it
dip, even
if only for a few days because I am down to my last couple
cans of ga=

for the boat.

$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
shutdowns=

Libya taps are off, a Canadian pipeline also went down for major
unplanned maintenance and news is a shortage is coming from Saudi.

By August you might very well see north of $5 at the pumps
because add
in currency devaluation (inflation).

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?

That's because most Amereecans think they know it all. That's why
they're hated so much all over the world. Arrogance, pure and simple.

It IS their downfall.

Maybe you'd better get tuned into what's going on in your country
instead of worrying about the U.S.
