        We've never had cheap petrol, cheapest I can remember is £0.50 in about 1972. At that time the exchange rate was about $1.50 to the £1.

                            It was around $0.35 a gallon when I was in HS. I remember scrounging together $2.00 from everyone so we could cruise around all night!
