----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis" > 8 bux for a pack of cigarettes, 3.00 for a gallon of gas... yikes ! OK, so try �3.00 a UK gallon, that is about US$4.50 a gallon... I'm not a smoker, but my partner is. She pays about �4.50 for 20. That is about US$6.75 (again mostly tax), so I guess it pays to smoke in the UK, but not drive a car. ;-) de Dave (G0DJA) Most of it goes in tax though.
