[WWI] Fighting Camels

Hi,

But you guys don't have so far to go to get anywhere ;)

A round trip drive to the US nats would be 4742 miles for me, for 
example.   That would be about 600GBP in gas alone.

How much would your trip to the UK nats cost?

My local IPMS chapter is 32 miles away, again a round trip gas cost of 6GBP.


I don't think its the price, per se that is the main reason for the 
whinging, it's the fact that it is rising so rapidly (and salaries not 
following!) and that the oil companies are reaping record profits.

UK gas has always been more expensive, even during the boom North Sea 
days, because successive governments saw the tax revenue as a cash cow, 
and the UK electorate kept electing them.
