HeadingNorth Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Before the "energy crisis in the 70's gas here was .30 cents per gallon. now around $3.00 per gallon. How does the average US wage today compare to that of forty years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 what is the cheapest you can remember, have they ever been under £1 per ltr? The earliest price that I can remember was when I was 13. We were going on a long trip in a mini-bus. I'm not quite sure how my memory bizarrely works as it does, but I recall, it was a Mobil station at Meadowhead, and it was 172.9p/gallon (38.42p/l). I also remember the smell of fumes in the mini-bus, and it was a petrol bus. One of my old threads from 2006/7 (where I was trying to work out why housing is so expensive) also includes fuel prices, collected from 1950. And shows, we get more fuel for our money than in 1950. (depending on you look at things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Crikey in 2003? So maybe it was less in 2000 than I thought. I remember a tenner in my Mini lasting ages...... I remember not even being able to get a tenner in my Mini! About £8 filled it up. Then I got a 1275GT with the larger tank and it taking over a tenner.

When was that, I had a Mini and seem to remember putting a fiver in it when I first started driving, it was a Mini clubman with a 6 gallon tank if I remember rightly.

Smack Jack Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It cant be the plan, there is too much money in it. As long as oil cosumption is accompanied by a gentle guilt trip here and there well all be able to use it all until the planet engulfs itself in a ball of flame and noxious gases. Much like my ideal night out now I think, bring it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
