    The company I work for has a pool car. It's supposed to be used for visits to customers close to Cincy. But I'm driving it at the moment.
    It's has a relatively small 4L engine and scrapes a tad over 18 to the gallon. Good job I'm paying $2.60/gallon.

    Back over 1.64. Looks like we may have a spurt on

    Yeah that was really funny answering a simple question with some stupid remark about bringing Dollars to the States!
    Listen I'll leave it as I couldn't be bothered wasting anymore time talking to you prats, Money saving Expert is obviously where you losers hang out as your clearly have no mates, I'd say that your also a virgin who has an eating disorder!
    OOH I forgot to put in a Gay little smiley thing to say how happy or angry I am.

    Calm down, a little light banter is needed to relieve the stress you know.

    Brain surgery is complex business and I need this little escape you know :A. Won't someone please think of the children!!!

    Hi all, I am going to be travelling across the states by cycle for 3 months from September, I have already got $1400 of travellers cheques but was wondering whether to get the remaining $1600 now (as its gone up since the 1.37 i got back a few months) or to wait until i am in the US or just before i go?

    Yeah. Good luck buddy. A guy I work with, aged 63, cycled across the US last year.
    I think I'd struggle with driving it :)

    As for when to change... who knows... change $800 and gamble with the rate for the remaining $800
