Here's an oddity Corts. Despite the fact that us Brits buy our gas in litres, we still work our gas mileage in miles per gallon..... IMPERIAL gallons that is not those short measures you guys use!

Those darn Eurocrats keep trying to send us metric but we're having none of it!

Our gallon is about 20% larger... one of the few occasions when we have something bigger than you guys!

One other thing. I know from visiting my sister in Ottawa that the price of gas varies according to what day of the week it is; I presume it's the same in the USA. That don't tend to happen over here although I wouldn't put it past some of the supermarket chains if they thought that they'd get away with it.
