During the petrol blockades in 2000, the average price of unleaded in the UK was 80p.

Oh how I long for those days

I remember being horrified at having to pay £0.99p a litre at one of the few garages that had fuel so I could travel down south. I too long for those days

It could be a fiver a litre and we'd no doubt still roll over and pay it! I was in the original pic in this thread or my car was and I'm sure at that time the Elise could be filled for just over £30.00! Last time I filled an Elise was November and it was £50.00 or so.. This country is a rip off and if I hadn't so many ties and family here I'd be the other side of the world where £139.9 will get you a gallon not a litre!

Its topics like this, and the future of motoring that lies ahead that makes me hanker after a V12, just to like, get it out of the way, before its just totally unaffordable.

..and its not already

I have reached the stage where after all the other boxes have been ticked I check the mpg of prospective future purchases and invariably the big 'X' assigns it to the lottery win list

Erm I meant £1.39.9 lol erm I'm sure you'll get a gallon for the equivalent amount in the middle east or south America? Also Australia is about half the price we pay too!

In Turkmenistan you get 120l free a month and if you use all that it's 12p a l more

In Venezuela it's only 2-3p a litre

In Norway it's £1.64

(correct as of August 2011)

Depends how many miles you do my commute has gone from 30 miles a day to 6. My fear now the engine not getting up to high enough temp in the morning.

My current motor is pretty good for mpg, but I dont find that it makes it any more exciting.

Currently in Australia we pay $1.40 a litre, although this changes daily, and we always get a cheap day every couple of weeks.

So that is GBP0.96 (sorry, no longer have pound signs on the keyboard...). When we arrived a few years ago, it had just tipped the dollar, so the rise here is quite substantial, relatively speaking.

Good times, my Escort Xr3i ran on 4 star

Wonder if we became independent what would happen to petrol prices? If anything...

A few years ago when we were in Egypt..........

The petrol was £1.00 per litre here and 10pence per litre over there.

Fuel price today in Nigeria is 97Ngn which is 39p per litre! That is in the fuel stations and about 27p on the black market.

The government subsidise fuel but even without the subsidy it would be 54p. Last year it was 25p in the fuel stations but the government reduced the subsidy and that's why there were strikes here last month.

Nigeria is the biggest oil producer in Africa but imports petrol, years of government corruption and mismanagement means we don't have the facilities to refine what we produce- Good country
