However, the ads are from 1982, and the Ital ad is speculating about higher petrol prices that might return in future

Ave. price of UK petrol in 1982: 37.5p per litre
What cost 37.5p in 1982 would cost £1.34 in September 2025

Ave. price of UK petrol as of today in November 2025: 135.33p per litre
What cost 37.5p in 1982 would cost £1.34 in September 2025

Share the last movie you watched!
A House of Dynamite (2025) Its plot follows U.S. government personnel responding to a ballistic missile launched by an unidentified enemy. The film is non-chronological, showing events unfolding three times from different perspectives.

Kamakiriad by Donald Fagen (1993) This superb album is a futuristic, optimistic eight-song cycle about the journey of the narrator in his high-tech car, the Kamakiri (which appears to resemble a Morgan)
