Hi Neil, Yes, that French system sounds OK, but I don't think it would work here. I can't imagine the fuel outlets cooperating enough to provide electronic access to their pump prices ... but we can dream! A few years ago, Matt Abraham, the morning announcer for 2CN, provided the fuel prices for the morning at various places around Canberra. I think these were reported by some listeners, and the system seemed to be quite effective. So effective that the practice was terminated - I don't know how or why, but I can guess! Best wishes, Neville. >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------< Neville Anderson ---- www.pcug.org.au/~nevander * Keep your ambition within your reach, but beyond your grasp * PCUG (ACT) - helping to "Fuel the Power of Canberra" >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<
