I can remember my Dad complaining when it went to £1 a gallon. Think I was about 10 or 11 at the time. So around 1980.

GC8

£1.65 a gallon for 4* from small garages. Then; large franchised garages were dearer at about £1.80 a gallon. When fuel was sold by the gallon prices typically differed by 1p to 2p per gallon: since its been sold by the litre it differs by 4.5p to 9p per gallon.....

Seem to remember 4 star at about 4shillings and 6pence a gallon.
Thought it was so expensive when it went over the 5 shilling mark.
For those that can't ....5 shillings is 25 p.
And quad stamps as well !

I used to work in a garage when 4 star was about 40p/Gallon. And then there was a round of fuel increases and I was laughing that Petrol might one day get to £1/GALLON.

when i started driving it was about 44p a litre. that was 93. i also remember going to scotland for work and it was about 8p a litre cheaper so i used to put in just enough to get me up there nad then fill her to the brim to get home, i had a sierra sapphire then an it cost less than 30 to fill it up if i remember rightly

51st state

you forgot to add that you are a scouser

so never really paid for fuel , if you couldn't take it from peoples cars, you resorted to drive-offs

Ginge !

iTrader: (1)

my old orion used to cost 30 quid to fill the tank when i started driving,,, when i was 17 and my mate got hes first car we would all chip in a few quid for a drive anywhere,,,,,, he used to spend 15 quid a week on fuel,,,,,, and we went everwhere at night

Ginge !

iTrader: (1)

ps: my scoobie costs just over 50 quid to fill up,,,,, just like my cossie did and i still get 200 miles to a tank too

shows how even with the price of fuel a car with closed loop is better than a old turbo powered car !!!

I can remember about 37p a litre for 4 star, and also rember my cossie in the early 90's doing over 100 miles to a tenner, is about £28 now. I wish my wages had gone up by the same percentage, I would not be worried about the cost of fuel then.

Ginge !

iTrader: (1)

my cossie when i got it had a ****E chip in it,,,, i used to get and i **** you not

i got 10 miles to a tenner,,,,, then i got it mapped and i could get 50 miles to a tenner,,,,, though i also once got 120 miles to a tank before

mart360

Can we stick to either price per complete gallon, or if quoting per litre say so.


the 48p i used to pay was per gallon, so thats just over 10p per litre
