    Can sympathize with our British friends. Gas has been
    over $2 a gallon, here in paradise, for many many
    months. Was just starting to get close to $2.00 when
    the latest uptick hit. Seem to remember $2.30 a
    gallon the other day. In more normal times it seems
    to hover around $1.80 a gallon which still isn't
    cheap. Makes me want to move to SF to get cheap gas
    (that's a joke, btw).
