![]() 195 forum posts 65 photos | Maybe they should rename it No Hope Garage! It hasn't quite hit that height here yet, though it's a matter of time. Have to say I'm glad we have a biomass boiler. Less glad we still have the oil-powered Aga - though as it kept us going during the post-Arwen meltdown I can't say too much against it. |

![]() 347 forum posts 173 photos | Maybe this is the reason: UK fuel duty is currently levied at a flat rate of 57.95p per litre for both petrol and diesel, while VAT at 20% is then charged on both the product price and the duty. |

2661 forum posts 294 photos | Last week my local 'cheap' garage that continues to stock E5 was @ £1.66/L. I filled my aged 200SX + a jerrycan for the mower and chainsaws - came out at just over £101. A bargain at today’s prices. There's no sign of less traffic or folk driving economically - yet. pgk |

7517 forum posts 20 photos | There is little point in comparing really old historical petrol costs - I can remember 1s11d per gallon back in the 1950s. Only a little over 2p/litre back then, but houses were a lot cheaper back then, compared to nowadays! The problem is the ~33% rise this last couple of weeks, or less. I filled up both cars before last weekend at less than £1.50/l, thanks to 7p/l reduction coupons from Morrisons.

![]() 1607 forum posts 69 photos | I am not totally in agreement with the suggestion that looking back at old petrol prices is pointless. As a small child in about 1960 father used Shell petrol because ShellMex was cheap rubbish and Super Shell was too expensive at over 4/- a gallon. Reading this reader query in an old ME from 1969 made me smile in todays harsh conditions 7/2p works out at just under 36p per gallon or about 8p per litre. |

![]() 3988 forum posts 1799 photos | Hi, the earliest price I knew of petrol was about 1970 when my late older brother filled up his car, it was 1/9 (8.75p) a gallon and there was much criticism when it jumped up to 1/11 (9.58p). I last filled up at a Tesco's on the 6th of this month and diesel was 151.9p litre, I passed the same place this morning and diesel has gone up to 165.??p a litre since then. Regards Nick.
