A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away”.... Mearns

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.

Toured around the local gas stations to find out where the cheapest fuel might be available. To compare like with like and remembering one US gallon is effectively 3.8 litres (gas is only sold by the litre in the U.K.) the cheapest was one US gallon cost USD 8.77. Just after lunch I passed the same gas station where the price I paid this morning had risen from 8.77 to 9..12.  Diesel was even more! Thankfully, a pint of my favourite beer hasn’t changed - yet.
