    I paid £1.07 per litre yesterday, down from £1.11 the previous week and down from £1.20 not too long ago...

        Jeeeeezuz! I think we pay like R9.41 per litre, last figure I found. I have never paid much attention to the exact price, because whatever it is, I still have to pay it. If there were competing prices I might pay attention. Still, even R10/l is damn cheap compared to your price of about R17/l. It's not all bad, Zuma says he likes Whites, so you can come stay here if you want. ;P

          It is forecasted to come down to $2.30. All the cause and effect in Economics make my head spin.

              That's the weird thing; I have not been looking for many jobs outside the area because of gas prices. Now I might be able to afford to commute!

                  While still not the worst it has been there, definitely bad. I find it strange I am so far from the refineries yet I probably have the cheapest gas.

                    NC has the most expensive gas in the continental US, right now. pipeline problems, IIRC.

                        Okay, I had a drink and accidentally hit "1" instead of reply. Can someone fix that? Anyhow, I know that most countries outside the US have always spent more for gas and I understand that. No matter where you live, we are paying more.

                                  I am not sure what the local price is but gas dipped to $3.35 so that should put ethanol around your number since it has been around a $0.40 less than gas / gal. The frustration is that my suv will not take the stuff.

                                    I haven't looked at the whisky ethanol gas yet, but it generally runs about $0.60 cheaper than regular. Happily, regular dropped to $3.15 yesterday; I think they have to bring it in on camel-back, though...

                                          unfortunately the flip side is that it's only at that price because we are going into a global recession. :) On the bright side I've been playing the stock market for the past year shorting everything I can get my hands on (it's been a really good year). I actually managed to get potash puts when it was trading at 125ish.
