I have no idea what price fuel was in '89 when I passed. But it was around then that fuel started to be sold in litres, and unleaded was making an appearance.
As a teenager, I could never afford to fill the car in one go. Mind you, some of my earlier motors I'm not sure I had confidence they would last long enough to use the entire tankfull even if I had had the money!!
I only started paying attention to fuel prices during the fuel strike of 2000. Remember that?
Look at all those lovely cars. Lots of red motors and not an SUV in sight, Suzuki Vitara aside! Only three German cars in the photo, I bet there would a lot more of them today.
