Price of fuel...
lurch_917:
just to add to the pot why we are now paying over the odds for fuel is the fact that it is mainly now 5-7% bio wich the producers get a enviromental tax cut for as they are making green fuel and this isnt being passed on just look at say bp proffit margin and then say were not being robbed

You've missed the point of this thread :lol:
I was saying we're NOT paying over the odds for fuel.
I'll go back to building the bondfire and climb up it....

There were 240 old pennies in a pound, but a shilling was 12 old pence. There were 20 shillings in a pound.
A pound is 100 new pence. 1/20 of this is 5p.
Until the mint changed the 5p and 10p coint and made them smaller, 1 shilling and 2 shilling coins were still in circulation as legal tender at 5p and 10p respectively.
So 5 bob (shilling) per gallon or 4.545 litres means it is just over 1 bob per litre or 1/20 of a pound.
That means it is a little over 5p per liter, or the 5.5p/litre

Still makes no sence ;)
I'm from the generation of inches, cm, KM's, miles, pounds, OZ's, grams and Kilo's, hectares and acres... Measure small, metric, then imperial, then back to metric, and back to imperial again.... One thing I couldn't never get my head around was old money.
When old money became new money, surely the prices of things was also altered to reflect. Say a loaf of bread cost 50p or 10 bob in old money, that would translate to 20p <> in new money?
