Can't remember exactly what the price was!...around three and nine-pence a gallon I reckon. But, what a bloody beauty our Government pulled on us, WOWEEEE!.... When we changed, we went from 3/9d a gallon, to....you guessed it, yep, 38 cents a litre. 3 months later, somebody decided to divide the litres into gallons, then worked out the price. Whacko!!....what a sweet one. Bazza. Gov: "How we gonna tell 'em"?."Make it one cent cheaper per litre, a discount"! LOL.
