Here's a question for you. My Dad who comes to LM with me, has to make a speech next week about the old days,and has asked me to find out the what the price of a gallon of petrol was in 1977?. That is the UK price.
Thanks for your help.

Gives average prices year on year all the way from 1896, including the Tax percentages. Should be useful.

Interesting topic: In the year when one liter of petrol got more expensive than one liter of milk, I made my driving license (1987). Then, when the price for one liter of petrol went permanently over one Euro, I switched to LPG on the daily runner.
It looks like inflation is galloping at an incredible pace. :o

I'd say it was about 48p a GALLON (@4.55 litres/ gallon = 10.54p / litre!), Fill your car up for a fiver, but I was only earning about £25 a week as an Apprentice.

It seems today like that is how much ten year old gets in pocket money :-X
