On a visit to senior son in the other London in 1999, I noted that
gasoline was priced at 69.9, which at the time translated to roughly
$1.85. Dividing by 4.5 (to convert gallons to litres) gave $0.41 which
compared very well with the $0.399 which I was paying at home. Then I
realized that 69.9 WAS the price per Litre!

Do you wonder why we're so keen on fuel economy :-(

Fuel economy? What's that? I drive a bicycle and consistently average
50 miles per gallon of beer. ;-D

Cheers!
