And it wasn't even a real gallon - how sad is that.

Can't work that one out - if oil is priced in dollars and the pound is high (2 for 1) against the dollar surely it must get cheaper.

Someone once told me that if the price of oil comes down then we lose out because North Sea oil is worth less, so we have to pay more to keep the price high. If the price goes up we have to pay more because it is paid for in dollars. Either way we pay more. Best way for us to pay less would be to get them re-classified as drugs and in tariff part VIII category M, at the moment at least.

There are pros and cons too John. We have the NHS - no such thing in the USA. That's great if you get free health insurance from your job, but if you were born with a disability you're out of luck I think.

I wouldn't worry about the dollars. If you live in the U.S., earn dollars, you pay in dollars. Can't think about conversion to pounds as I know it's hard not to. The salary here would be equivalent if not better. The problem here can be the working conditions depending on what sector you go into. Of course the other problem is that we pay about the same taxes but have absolutely nothing to show for it!
