17 years ago, 45p a ltr was a good price

between march 25th and april 21st it went from 1.169 to 1.219 and has settled back a bit

last april 5th it was 99.9p now £1.19 (20p a ltr) i buy 90 ltrs a week so im now £18 a week worse off (in just a year) or £685 over a school year

no spain this year then

How much is that in real money cos I know 6d is 2.5p are shillings 5p? If that is the case then it used to be 17.5p so things haven't changed that much except instead of it being the cost it's now the VAT :wink:

Not forgetting that this is 17.5p per gallon which is about 3.85p per litre. :shock:

I remember those.

In fact Skippy should remember Dickies garage as you came into Dalkeith just past the High School (now closed), that had different pumps for the different grades.

My old mans Rover 3500 took 5 star.

I wonder what vehicles took 2 star? Motorbikes? The 1974 version of the Smart Car?

I had to pop up North last week for a few days.

The average price of derv in Fife / Lothians was around £1.18 a litre.

Why is Herts / Beds / London still on £1.23 plus?

Essex has a refinery, so does central Scotland.
