I sympathise with people paying alot to run their dream but right now things are not too bad. Give it ten years when the demand for crude oil exceeds the production capabilities and we will see some real price increases not 10p or 20p over 10 years or so.
Hopefully they will do electric motor conversions for P38's
how far that go?Mine took a ton and still didnt get very far 400 miles ish i thinkThe Range Rover Classic only costs around £50 to fill up

Yer thnik THATS BAD .............. I've got them "Petrol Coupons" they issued during About 1973 (When we only had electric fer 3 days a week!!!)
6 gallons @ 2 bob a gallon = 12 bob
12 bob + 2 bob change = 14 bob
A quid = 20 bob.......
6 bob missing........
short changed....pub (or to much vino) or old timers disease............:doh:.........:behindsofa:
I also remember the 2 bob a gallon, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star, 5 star and Esso Blue and Pink Paraffin including those white forecourt machines with a glass dispensing tank...........Arr,,,, those were the days my son....
And they were originally printed for just after the war but never issued........recycling at its best......might be needing them soon at this rate..........
