[PRCo] Motor fuel

[Fred Schneider]

I'm almost afraid to post this for fear of reprisals:

Current price of 87 octane gasoline in Great Britain ... more
specificially the person lives in Stockport, Cheshire (near Liverpool)
... converted at the current rate of 1 pound to $1.81 is US$5.31 cents
per U. S. gallon.  The original price was in liters.  Current news
releases indicate price expected to ride to US$5.44 a gallon this week.

John Markham adds that beer is much more expensive --- sold in many
places at 2 pounds per imperial pint.   That's US$23.17 a gallon.
