For some reason I though that petrol was 50-something a gallon when I first had a bike in 1979. According to both the links I was wrong, more like £1/gallon  :-/ :-/
That'll be lager. Was about 50p per pint then.

never had to fill up completely as I do not do much mileages or drive regularly, so therefore never concerned to think about the price in gallons/full tank, as I only put in what needed then.

I always brim my cars then run it to empty. It's about £80 for the Omega & 'only' £55 for the Astra  :o :o

My brother nearly had a tantrum the first time it cost him more than £100 to fill his car, and that was a few years ago. The 'perk' of a 100 litre tank  ;D  ;D

During the last fuel hike a couple of years back when it hit nearly 1.30 a litre (when oil was mega bucks per barrel), I never managed to fill my car due to the (then) £90 cutoff at the pumps :(

When my dad used to fill up, I was more interested in the smell of the petrol than its price, and the Smurf toys you used to get at National.

I do recall one family holiday to Hunstanton, and having to share a banana splitwith my brothers so that dad still had £2 cash for petrol to get back home to Aylesbury...

would 50 pence worth of petrol even wet the bottom of an Omega's tank these days?  :-? :-? ;)
