Time to leave the country me thinks

I just want to inform you that in Canada, it is currently 93 Canadian cents. That is about 60 pence a liter, and complaints are going rampant. The worst was 1.50/Liter when the pound was 2.20/ pound, so that would still make it only 65 or 70 pence.

I just want to let you know how the rest of the world is not necessarily paying those outgrageous prices now as oil has dropped in price significantly.

So I think that you fellas are getting screwed over somehow, and it doesn't seem right.
