Brougham jotted down the following:

Have you check the price of petrol (or gas: see I'm bilingual these days ;)
in Sweden lately?  About two months ago, it was just over $1/liter.  That's
a tad more than $4 a gallon.  It's probably even more now.

Eric has a tank somewhere between 20 gl and 25 gl and he'll happily guzzle
that down in around 400 miles of driving.  Always assuming that we stay out
of cities and towns, that is, or that figure drops to about half.

Consequently, it'd cost me more to get him from the port of entry in Sweden
to where I live, than it would to ship him across the Atlantic!

Eric stays ;)
