When I passed my test it was about £1.68 per GALLON. They didn't even price it in Litres in those days but that'd be about 37p a litre.

I had a Citroen GS (ask your Dad if you don't know...) and it cost about a tenner to fill it up once a fortnight.

And when I was a kid, my Dad used to put 4 gallons of 4 star into his Anglia and give me the change from £1. It was only about fourpence, but that worked out at about 4/11 per gallon (24½p in today's money), or less than 6p per litre.

And before some cheeky b*stard asks, no it wasn't before the War :!:

Thing is blocking refineries is now illegal ......

 

[Howies]

The country can't afford for refineries to be blocked etc. The economy is fcuked as it so by blocking fuel supplies and bringing the country to a stand still will just cost the economy even more. Something the country just cant afford right now!

This country is just a joke at the moment, its a right mess!

My first tank was 71p a litre, im only 22..... IMO there are several options - VAT should either be removed altogether for a period or the VAT should only be applied to the cost of the petrol, not the cost of the petrol and the tax. Or introduce a single fuel duty rather than have 2 separate taxes. Or even reduce the import taxes on oil goods so the wholesale price becomes a bit cheaper.
