Title: US Petrol prices
Post by: STMO123 on 24 November 2008, 14:41:05

4 months ago petrol was selling at $4.11 for a (US) gallon. Today it is at $1.97. Quite a drop.

It might not be as good as it has been, but the £/$ exhange rate has been far far worse. 20 odd years ago when I went to USA by Grey Funnel Line - might have been 83ish ... we watched the newish film of War Games in our Motel room - it was just about parity (good word for a Mon afternoon ;) 1$ was 92 pence.
