99.7p Petrol........£1.04 Diesel..
Probably be back to pre Lockdown prices before I need any fuel though.. Only covered 47 miles to pick up click and collect shopping in the last 2 months and no trips planned..

Nice Speed Twin ;)


My first was also a Cub, back in 1971 - the original 50's one with a distributor. Haven't got a picture of it sadly, and can't remember what the petrol cost in real money, but my next bike was this T-Bird in 1972 (sorry, Mum wasn't much good with a camera), and I remember petrol then being 35p a gallon (so 7½p a litre in French, if my calculations are correct, which they probably aren't).

£4 5d a gallon when I started driving . I had a pounds worth each week, the girl who manned the pumps used to just top it up without asking . The garage was Smallbones in corner of Raddlebarn Road & Gristhorpe Rd . Birmingham . Still there by the looks of it. Used to specialise in pre war Austins at one time.

I filled the tank on my first car in 1985, 11 gallons cost about £19, £1.75 per gallon :drool4:

Having said that, if my wages were same then as now, it would make petrol equivalent to about £12 a gallon :eek:

I filled the ZT on Tuesday, £1.037 for premium diesel, unleaded was 97.7, and super unleaded £110.7

Brian :D

Just dropped to 99.7 at my local Asda. While the missus has been calling in at the local food shops I’ve been filling up my plastic 5 litre and metal 10 litre cans to fill up the SL in preparation for the “big release”.
It was empty when I put it on SORN and now it’s full to the brim with almost 10 litres spare for the mower.

In the early 1990's I recall filling my Honda MT50 moped for about £3.
First time I filled my own car on the road in 1992 it cost £12 (Mini Clubman Estate).
I ran a Landrover Discovery 2 for about 11 years, when the diesel price was at its height, nearly £1.30 a litre it was costing over £120 to fill it :eek:

I am getting more than 3 months per gallon 😂

But here in Portugal...
 

I topped up my ZT-T n/a 1.8 at 1.19 Euro per Litre yesterday...;)

I had to fill up on the M1 yesterday and paid about £1.25? for unleaded. :mad:Stopped at 30 quids worth.
