Sir, – Your report on the excitement of oil producers at the output of the "Gatwick Gusher" is understandable, if your figures as quoted are correct (London Briefing, February 18th). "A better than expected rate of 463 million barrels a day" is approximately 46 times the entire daily output of Saudi Arabia. No wonder they're happy. – Yours, etc,
JOHN DUNNE,
