Why flying is expensive in the UK.

On tonight's news the official average price for 1 litre of unleaded 95 Ron petrol (gas) for vehicles, nationwide, has passed the £1.00 sterling mark.

In the US that would be the equivalent of $7.50 for a US gallon.

Well, you have to pay for all the free health care and survailance cameras somehow. You also forgot all the aviation user fees that go along with flying over there.

Here in the Northeastern US we are going to break $6.00 a gallon in the next few days.

$3.15 in Oshkosh tonight, Nov. 7th. I'm guessing $4 by Christmas.

Nah, JDK, here in Texas , they'd just give it to us for free but we go ahead and pay for it so the riff raff from the other 49 don't come flooding down here ! :lol:
