That will be because your fuel tank will be a lot bigger on a modern car, I used to fill my MK2 in 1988 for £15. I seem to remember it was £2 a gallon then and the tank held about 7 to 8 gallons.

Fair enough the fuel has gone up a lot since then about 3 times, but I was taking home £95 a week then and my wages now are more than 3 times what they were then. If your wages have gone up a similar amount then your fuel costs are less now than they were then in relation to your earnings.

Maths was my best subject at school, not spin ha
