Petrol Prices
With the collapse in demand for fuel, this evening i filled the 190 up with petrol at Morrisons in Stone, Staffs at 99.7p per litre. When was the last time it was below a £1.
Then again when i had my first car in August 1973 petrol was about 33p per gallon with beer at 11p per pint. Good night out on a £1. Must be getting old as going to part time working this Summer! |

In the early 70s, between leaving school and being old enough to join the RAF, I worked at a garage both on the forecourt and in the tyre bay. This was long before self service and customers used to come in and ask for a pound's worth of petrol which got them three and a bit gallons! First pint of bitter I ever bought (at the tender age of 14 - don't tell anyone) cost me the princely sum of one and tenpence in pre-decimal currency.

From a now bad memory the petrol was just under 7 shillings a gallon (35p today) Relatively petrol is much cheaper now.

BP & Esso by us are still sticking to the customer, £1.17 & £1.19 you can add another 12p to that if you use their best diesel.

Didn't need any on my trip to the Supermarket today, but noted it was still up at £1.09 per litre at the Shell station I use.

My first gallon of petrol (in my motorcycle) cost me 4 shillings and tenpence. I added two shots of redex to make a round five bob! (25 new pence) Ahhh! Those were the days! I have since lost all my hair!

Esso near me yesterday was 111.9/ltr unleaded, and 134.9 for supreme. Didn’t check diesel, as I was only filling the JZR (max 10 ltrs)
