Funny you should mention that!

I was speaking recently to a rather charming gentleman seated alongside me in 2C, on the way to Gibraltar. Anyway we somehow ended up on the subject of petrol and, to my surprise, I noticed it was around 55-60p per litre in Gibraltar!

This man had just taken delivery of one of the new Range Rovers and had a villa half way between Marbella and Gibraltar - apparently a weekly day trip to fill up the tanks is a frequent occurence!
