    Thumbs up

    Just a point to make for those in tht UK. The price of pertrol is getting out of hand, 85% tax the robbing bas*****.

    Make a fuss, email your local MP, we have the most expesive fuel in the developed world and its getting way out of hand.

    Just think of it 85% F****** TAX.

    This of couse is a VB question written in some code that I am unaware of I see...

    When in doubt, but it in a module Sub

    Code:
    Public Sub DecodeCrap(gsc1ugs as String)
    
        Dim LoopCounter As Long
        
        For LoopCounter = 1 to Len(gsc1ugs)
            Mid(gsc1ugs, LoopCounter, 1) = Chr(32)
        Next
    
     
    End Sub
    I'm bored, ask a real question

    Isn't petrol in the US about 19p/litre?

    I say we get a consortium together and import it.

    I don't know what conversion ratios to use, but I do know that to fill up my Club Wagon (cush, seven passenger van with a 32 gallon tank) it is costing me $50. Maybe I don't want to know what it would cost there! If you want to convert it, we are at about $1.53 for a gallon of 89 octane.

    Well, you asked $188.48 dollars to fill the same tank here.
    If the UK people dont complain, it wont come down..

    GAS

    Gas 'N' Oil ..find that stock..buy it..it's going up
    and never coming down!

    Governments are bullies but look at some 3rd World countries and their excuse for government and then you can see what real bullies are all about.

    I walk to work now (used to drive for 15 years), don't care about the price of petrol in the UK anymore (I'm in the UK).

    BTW, USA is the most wasteful & polluting country in the world because energy is so cheap. Just desserts say that the ozone should open up right over it.

    gsc1ugs,

    get i life, what can u mean.

    I was lucky, got a local job (for local people) after years and years of being stuck on the north circular. I can remember calculating pay rises vs cost of petrol increases, never again.
