Right now I'm in Georgia, 170 miles from home, and 3.8 liters of gas is over two dollars. Even with my frugel little car I guess I am about $10 from home.

I don't plan on buying any petrol at English prices anytime soon. I might be in London sometime in the next couple of months, but I plan on riding the tube. Do they still have those 125 mph trains to Scotland?
