The lowest gas price you remember ?

At least all our modern equipment is in mm now KK, but older vehicles may still need AF spanners or, in some cases, Whitworth!  (My old toolbox still has some Whitworth open-ended spanners.  Useful sometimes to hammer onto corroded metric nuts  )  Did you ever come across those sizes?

No first I've heard of Whitworth.  Like you said modern vehicles are metric.  It was the changeover where you had a combination of metric and SAE.

Google tells me:   

"When did Whitworth stop being used?
Whitworth and BSF officially became obsolete in 1948 following an agreement between the UK, US, and Canada to standardise on the American UNC and UNF fasteners for future use."
So it's official, my spanners are museum pieces!

Growing up my dad had a Sunoco gas station. I started working there at age 16 (1960). Cheapest I remember was 5 gallons for a buck (regular).
