this is a interesting read ...... how fuel prices have changed over the years and how much of it is tax

:bow Nope :bow

The last time I saw one of those was at the pictures. 'Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets'
They used magic to make it fly.
Might not be a bad idea considering the fuel prices. :thumbs

I used to have a 1987 E reg 3 cylinder 1 litre diesel Daihatsu Charade. Top whack 70mph but could do 60mpg. It used to sound like Satans lawnmower.
Brilliant little car, saved my life after a spanish 18 wheeler knocked me off the M1.

When I passed my test in 1965 you could buy 4 gallons of Esso Golden Petrol (5 star leaded) for 19 shillings and 8 pence that's about 97 pence for 18.2 litres.

About 5.3 pence per litre !

I can agree with that, in 1966, my Dad put 4 gallons of petrol in and it was a pound.
Something like that sticks in your mind.
It was also the year that England won the world cup....
As we all keep getting reminded about.:doh

 

[rustic]

One simple word...... O I L

I remember it particularly well as I had a Saturday & Summer Holiday job on a petrol forecourt ( No self service in those days) most people would leave me the 4 pence change as I would also check oil level and radiator levels. The more mean spirited would ask for a shot of Reddex with each gallon of fuel so no tip !!

Me and the Fez passed two L200s today on Strata Florida smelling like a mobile chippy LOL. After laughing at the driver of the first one and telling him he wasn't allowed up there as he was driving a Jap motor and apparently only Land Dribblers can do the run, his wife then said she was thinking about swapping the nodding dog for a bottle of ketchup to go with the pong LOL

 

[zippy656]

nothing wrong with a mobile chippy...

love teh ketchup idea!
