Pretty sure I remember petrol at 4s9d a gallon in the 60s, shame I wasn't old enough to be buying it myself.
20 fags for about the same price, too.

- 3 litre Z3 pretending to be Italian exotica. Two previous E89 Z4s.
I remember in summer of 1978/9 my dad moaning about 4 star being nearly 60p a gallon.
In 1983/4 I could fill my moped tank for under £2 and it would last about 2 weeks.

I started driving, legally, in 1972 and 4 gallons were round about £1, 5 pints of bitter and packet of crisps just under £1, return rail ticket Bury-Manchester Victoria 46.5p and 20 Regal King size 46.5p, those were the days!

Thruppence? You were lucky.......

Remember when - Road tax was just £12 10s
Well. No. I don't remember. I was just 4 years old. But that's about 230 quid in today's money.
