You are being ripped off. :nod: It's $2.55 here today. I paid $2.35 two days ago with a discount deal with Kroger that allowed me buy 35 gallons, enough to fill both Mrs P's car and mine. :thumbsup:

I am also curious as to what whether or not Texas is on the coast, has to do with routes to Scotland, as very few people sail on a ship to cross the Atlantic. :confused:

Re: Worried and feeling uncertain about moving to US? How did you deal with thes

The cost of a round-trip buy & sell on a house in the US can be pretty crazy, close to 10% of the selling price is typical, so unless there is a high probability of you staying in one place for at...

Re: Worried and feeling uncertain about moving to US? How did you deal with thes

States usually offer a few months (maybe 3-6 months, in the great recession of 2008-2012 that was bumped up several times, funded by the federal government, to as much as 24 months) of unemployment...

Re: Worried and feeling uncertain about moving to US? How did you deal with thes
