Indeed, someone (DPO of my brain) hit the reverse gear on the foreign
exchange.  And I'm sure that will not be the last of the $1.04/litre
discussion.  Be warned I will put the nomex on once I'm "medium rare".  I'm
sure our European friends understand such fuel prices.

The scary thing is, I think we may be headed there in the short term.  Does
anybody remember the magnitude of price hikes in the 70's?  I only vaguely
remember premium selling for about 0.75 / Imperial Gallon as a kid.

...Of course, cigarettes were 2 25's for $1.00 (Mom used to smoke),  there
was such a thing as $0.25 draft nite  (not shot glass sized),  good steak
was less than $1.00/lb etc etc.

Just fine in C$ and Metric
