    Some old bug-gers like me remember when it was two shillings (10p) a GALLON. In those days I could never afford to put in more than 3 or 4 gallons, whereas now I always fill up, so perhaps it is cheaper pro rata now than it was then.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Wasn't there great uproar when it went up to 50p a gallon as well?

    Diesel where we live at the moment is 117 i noticed last night it had gone up again that is my local garage down the road joys of living in a rural area :eek:.
    If i drive to my nearest big town which is 13 miles away it is a couple pence cheaper so not really worth it .

    Will speak my mind because that"s how i am :D

    I remember when there was a big fuss saying that if it ever got to £1 a litre there would be riots on the street (maybe not quite as extreme!) and lorry drivers blocking roads and god knows what else.

    Bloody Petrol Prices

    I'm not sure if putting bloody petrol into your car is good for the engine? :S
