It was five bob a gallon when I bought my first tankfull.

So, who will be first to reply with how much a liter five bob a gallon works out to?

5.5p per litre. Am I really so sad I actually sat down and worked it out??  :lol:

No. Bob was a Shilling which became 5p. 25p/4.54=5.5p per litre.

But there was also 240 pennies in the old poud, which would need converting over to the decimal pound.
