going to Europe
 
I am returning to the old country (England) for a week in September. Thought I would check out that latest gas prices :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4144246.stm

Yikes ! 98.9 p/l = 98.9 * 3.8 l/gal * 1.82 US$/UKP = $6.80 gallon !!

Yikes !

Yikes !

I think I'll be renting a super-sub-micro-tiny-compact !

Not sure you guys do have the cheapest gas - with 45km's left on the range it cost me 100 dirhams to fill up in Dubai. I think that's about $27 or just over. That has to be cheaper!!

I was going to make the point that it is often cheaper at or near the [major] sources :thumbup: Don't know about places like Venezuela though.

Love Europe. The CEO and I try to make it there every year. Last year, we did Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. We go to Italy almost every year. We also went to London for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary two years ago. (What a GREAT town.) The prices of gas notwithstanding, I just love going to the other side of the pond. Good luck, enjoy, and take some pics! :thumbup:

Juan
