[TR] Gas prices - revisited

[John Macartney]

Hey guys, let's try and cool off some of the reasons that gas prices are as they are :):)
My post earlier today was merely to try to get a feel for current prices across the US and Canada 
with the sole objective of trying to work out how far 'uncle jack' would go on the donation made by 
Rimmers. A useful number have replied off-list for which my thanks - but frankly, I'm not too 
interested in who holds the keys to the oil wells or whether the current crisis with Ford, GM and 
Chrysler is forcing SUV's back on the road.
So to get the matter back on track, I've estimated 'uncle jack' will (maybe) give me 22mpag with a 
gallon costing me US$3.25 and the GBP/US$ rate holding at around US$1.45 = GBP1.00. On that basis, I 
should be able to travel 2450 miles before I run out of gas fund. By then, I estimate I'll be 
somewhere between Camden, Maine and Montreal, Canada - perhaps in no mans land between the two 
frontier posts!
