Cool fuel prices

Hi Every one is blaming everyone else I can remember when doing my apprentiship in the sixties at an Amoco garage super was 40cents a gallon
diesel was 20 cents a gallon now divide that by 4 and a bit to get litres and wages were $40 a week so fuel is cheaper now
it would have been a lot cheaper if our PM Malcolm Fraser and his treasurer John Howard in 1979 hadnt gone with world parity which doubled the price over night from 13 cents a litre to 26 cents Thanks John
