Ooh, I love those disc wheels!
Thinking about petrol costs I worked out the other day that it's actually cheaper in real terms today than it was when I started buying it. In 1969 (pre 1972 oil crisis) I was paid 6/- (30 of your new pee)per hour for working in a petrol station and 3***petrol was 6/2d per gallon. Minimum wage now would seem to be in the £8.75-£9.50 per hour region so at £1.50 per litre a gallon is about £7.50... perhaps its been coming down in relative price for a long while?
