If my memory serves me correctly when I passed my driving test in 1971 petrol was around 38 pence a gallon or around 8 pence a litre I bought a one owner Velox for £130, happy days.

Given that such a purchase today would be thousands, how much does that 38p a gallon equate to now?  :-\

£4.60 apparently... So 38p a gallon isn't too far removed...

Went out today and thought about topping up at local station at 1.60 euros but decided best on return. It had gone up to 1.63 euro by the evening. 1.72 euro for unleaded. I wonder how much it is on French motorways!

 Paid £1.53.7 for diesel at Asda tonight
My first memory of petrol prices is from 1972 when it was 32p a gallon where my father filled up

€1.72 isn't too horrific, relatively speaking.

Wages here aren’t as high as in the uk. Historically price here has reflected the £ euro exchange rate. If it was £ equals 1.20 euros then a ltre in uk would be £1,30 and here 1.30 euro. In France it would be around 1.45 and 1.55 on motorway.

There's been volatile trading in Brent Crude today going from as 'low' as $109 to a high of $118 with a few zig zags in between.  :(

Drove past Rivington Services near Bolton today on the M61 - couldn't believe the price of unleaded......a rip off £1.81 per litre  :o.  As I said, I drove past.......
I appreciate motorways are more expensive (although I thought there were moves several years ago to bring them more into line with urban garage prices?), but EC Garages ( Euro Garages) are taking the p¡$$. No wonder their owners are driving round in Porsches'...... ::)

I seem to remember 5 star petrol being around 25p a gallon in 1976.....but I may be confusing this with beer being 25p a pint, or 4 pints for a quid. :-X

I was barely a year old but very advanced for my age taking a keen interest in the price of petrol and house prices. :)
