There was something also about how Police Protrolls may be cut down

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did.They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Misssissippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help.

Hmm, by my calculations that is about 41p per litre, but the article works out at 37p per litre (have I gone wrong?).

I'd love to see people who complain about the price of oil live through the 70s. In 1979 OPEC prices hit $80 a barrel (in 2004 prices) though they sharply decreased after that.

NO your right. In NY the price is like almost 3.00 for 87. Its higher in NY just like everything else.

That happened in BC earlier this year too, I worked at a gas station at the time.

Have you ever seen an idealist with grey hairs on his head? Or successful men who keep in touch with unsuccessful friends? You only think you did, I could have sworn I saw it too but as it turns out it was just a clever ad for cigarettes.

And, dare I say, also very stupid. Gas stations have insurance against theft, including gas-n-runs.

You guys pay significantly more for gas than Americans because of taxes. Your government adds a much higher amount onto the real price than ours does.

I think most people understand america is a big place and everything is spread out, so it's not very easy to just jump on a bike and go to the store, like it is for most people in the UK (and Europe I'd guess).
