I read Pete's info on the price of "Motion Lotion" in Canada and thought
of how, here in GBR, you just change the dollar sign to the Pound sign and
add a bit and you have the UK price.
The current exchange rate for the $C is around $1.50 : UKP1.00 so you can
do the sums for yourself. The $A,and $US are about the same and the $NZ is
just over 2.00 from $NZ 2.20 a couple of years ago.
Tkae it easy,Pete, you still have a lot cheaper fuel than we have. This
explains why European cars are a lot smaller than cars in the USA, though,
on films and news reports, I notice that medium sized European cars seem
to be on the increase in the States. ????

So don't trade in the "Yellow Submarine" just yet,Pete.
p.s. The MDI site quoted a 300 km on a tank/cylinder of air, about the
normal for a tank full of petrol but no mention of what the price of air
might be. That will be up to individual governments to decide.
