It seems I do remember something about the 1979 strike after all, I had to drive down to Wales in my own car and because of the fuel shortage the service stations would only give you 2 gallons at a time. This did not get you far as I had a Jag 4.2 auto bought for £1000 and sold 6 months later for the same money.
The trip was done during the night and some of the charmers at these service stations did offer you more petrol but at a highly inflated cost, my money was not going in their pockets so 2 gallons and off I went looking for the next service station.
