full tilt boogie Tetra-ethyl lead in it, was 22 cts/gal, or so.

It is not going down or, "back" to what any of us knew it was,
even from a year ago.

3 choices: drive less, suck it up or, get a car with higher
mpg.

And, for our friends across the pond: We know it's expensive
there and taxed to the hilt. But, ya'll don't have 3500 mile coast
to coast road trips too often.

I only have the time to take trips of 5000 miles when we take our holidays mind you the price on mainland Europe is slightly cheaper than UK prices.

You lucky that you have the time to do 3500 mile coast to coast trips I don't I'm working most of the time. so I can afford to have my X5
