75c.... total rip off. I remember barely being able to afford to visit my GF in my HZ 253 Panno. She only lived 15-20 mins away!!! Such a guzzler

I got my license in 1977 and I'm pretty sure the price of super at my local service station was 19.9 cents per litre.
I remember my mate and I used to put 2 or 3 dollars in the tank and drive all around Sydney all night in either his HR sedan or my HR wagon (depending on who hadn't lost their license for speeding). I was still at school and the thought of having to waste a whole dollar on petrol in my mates car was tough.
I think a can of Coke was about 20c, a cheeseburger at McDonalds was 25c (a Big Mac was out of my price range at 40c) and my 1st set of mag wheels (used of course) cost me $20.00 from a school mate. My Dad was outraged that I'd been ripped off at that price!
Times have changed a bit......
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
I think I was paying about 60c a ltr in Mount Isa for my first car in 1986. Lived in Brisbane in 1987 and was paying just over 50c, apart from a good old price war where it got down to about 38c for a few weeks.
I remember being shocked paying $1.12 for diesel in Boulia in 2002. More than a dollar, highway robbery, even out there..!

Sandman...Just Drive It.!
I had a HQ Statesman Deville as my first drive car in 1985. I do remember putting $2.00 worth of fuel in it, from memory about 40-45c per litre.
Got my licence 1983 and first car was a fully worked LC Torana Coupe used to fly, can remember fuel being 42cents a litre and like Byron can remember putting $2 in at times, I can also remember about 12 years ago when I owned a RB Gemini putting $15 in and it would last me a week running to work etc how times are different now, owning three cars that all I ever seem to do is put fuel in one or the other
16 cents litre of LPG in my straight gas wb van.... Those were the days![]()
16 cents litre of LPG in my straight gas wb van. .. Back in 1991.... Those were the days![]()
When I started driving fuel was measured in gallon's, however when it became metric the price became 15c per litre. By then I had my second car, which I should have kept.
Cheers.
