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.

Thanks to Google try this link: http://www.aatrust.com/files/reports/140605_Petrol_Prices.pdf#search=%22petrol%20price%201977%22

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.  Shocked

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  Lips Sealed
