Hm, we used to deliver paraffin to the door a bit cheaper than petrol 16 pence a gallon we never bother to measure it much just filled the cans probably over a gallon. Also did minor repairs free replacing wicks and and swilling lamps etc due to condensation, often in snow as the Winters were much colder in those days. 240 pennies in the pound.

Good Evening
Sherri, it seems like our gas prices go up every day. I wonder when it will stop?

The 'war' is making it rough on everyone. All this to affect China's economy. Lives lost for nothing!
