How much was beer and monkey nuts. 😁
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I know Esso Golden was 19s 8p for 4 Gallons in 1964 as I worked on a petrol forecourt before the days of self-service pumps.
That's just under 25 new pence a gallon.(4s 11p)
Seabeowner:
6s 8d when I first bought fuel in 1970. Three gallons a £1. According to the Mails inflation calculator £6.53 now, £1.44 per litre. In reality average pay has increased much more than inflation, so petrol is cheaper on the pocket now. And my car does 50MPG whereas the ones I owned in the 70s struggled to get 30.
Here's another couple examples of DS prices from 1995.
Exhausts £75 Ea + 17.5% VAT
Bad news: I bought this bike is 2003 and did a couple of thousand miles on it. Laid it up and did a short winter ride on it when we moved house and didn't look at it for 8 years. All had rusted through around where the headers join the silencers. They had done maybe 3000 miles. Could have got them patched up I suppose, but sold the on ebay for £300 in 2015 and bought a repro set the following year.
