I bought fuel twice yesterday travelling between states and paid ?0.80/L
($3.999/US gal) in Ohio. And breathed a sigh of relief that I did a driving
trip from Missouri to California and back -- 4700 miles -- in January!
California is headed the UK's way on pricing faster than the US midwest.

Is the latest definition of being ?learned and well-informed? showing the
world on your ?Teams? and ?Zoom? meetings that you have a book-lined study
