Back in the old day my wages were £9.45 a week, 3 gallons of petrol for a pound and every night in the pub quite a lot of beer (not saying how much)
and saturday night at the disco and still some change left.

The real worry I have is we will look back on threads like this in a years time and won't believe how cheap it was to fill up at ONLY £100 for a
tank full.
I predict £1.50 per litre this time next year!

SO many questions, when I was 16, I had a Honda SS50 (later to become a SS70!), it had a tank holding about a gallon and it was the hottest summer we
ever had!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

1975 was hot, but 1976 had the highest temperatures over time and the record for the UK in June (36.4C) (and the drought) I was in Kent and the
pavements started melting.

I put over £40 in the Peugeot for the first time last week. I did drive about 40 miles after is said 0 miles to go though, and filled it to the brim.
36 litres of unleaded should last me 360 miles though or about 2 weeks.

i always fill to the top because time is money, so may as well make as few trips to the petrol station as possible!

I brim my car once a week when I go to Tesco for my shopping, A full tank would probably last me most of a month buts just easier to keep it full.
Less risk of running out aswell.

I got £101 in the tank last time fuel costs were high.
!976........ ahhhh, parents decided it would be a good idea to go to Criccieth (North Wales) for a summer holiday in 1976.
Got there and it pee'd down every day. Said parents had to go and buy jumpers and coats as they'd left them at home as it had been so
warm

!976 - the year I was born, and I was starting to feel old til I read this!
I might have to stop putting 99octane in the skyline as it's getting so pricey!
