Boy Oh boy, I remember when I was very young, my father filled the tank up, 4 gallons, he gave a £1 note and got some change....

A Heartbeat moment. My first car it was 67p per gallon.

) ..... wonder how much it is now ? ...... not that im young and foolish anymore lol

so by my reconing average wage in 1963 £20 pw = 160 gallons of fuel, today whats the average wage £600 pw = about 106 gallons, big difference, price of a transport cafe meal 1963 160 meals today 120, fags dont know what they cost today, Rick
