Avg price of fuel 1989-2009 !!

[H100S]

Put £20 in the car the other day and noticed the dial did not move very far. Got me thinking when I bought my first car in 1999 I could fill the tank for less than £30 seems I am correct. Corsa 1.2 40L tank at 70.2p was a £28 fill up. Same car today would cost over £50

Tax % is interesting though, up and down so much. Would be nice if anyone knew the 2010 and 2011 avg price.
