Re: Memories from 1984.
That's about 1.70/L in today's money.
Considering everything you are driving today is better on fuel than back then (let alone safety and performance), I think it's a no brainer that we're much better off today. |

As a kid I used to love the smell of Super and Standard petrol ( no I wasnt inhaling it out of a coke bottle ), just the smell when you were filling up. I remember they used to have attendants and you didnt get out of your car, paid cash and off you went, they used to have a Kerosene bowser at the AMPOL not far from where I grew up, remember them having a White V6 GT Capri on the single post hoist, I think it was the owners toy. |

The biggest diff is the "freedom" or lets say less regulation the world we lived in back then but its progress as one says, yer progress my b utt re many things. That $1.70L left you feeling less ripped than the better world today :) yer too funny re the avgas Rallye. We used to hit the shell refinary at Granville, fill up a 20l drum and away we went elsewhere for some street runs. Gawd I luved the fumes and smell prktkljokr - speedway was one of the big go to's back then as well, oh that smell and aura. 80's was huge in my 20's funfunfun glad I survived it. |
