Black Gold

that's certainly what oil is turning into. Or should it be Black Platinum? Apparently there is a risk of petrol prices increasing to £1.20 per litre, or in old money almost £5.50 a gallon! For US visitors benefit that's about $10.40 a gallon. It's a good job that I don't do that many miles driving. My car is for days out and trips to the supermarket. In the last six months I think I've driven about 3,500 miles - well below the national average of 12,000. I think this potential price rise may cause more traffic on my tram - I hope the new influx of travellers don't have the fish aroma syndrome of some present passengers!
