We use to fill my father's car for Rs 1.03p per litre before 1971. Suddenly after Bangladesh Liberation War it was increased to Rs 3.17 p per litre. When I owned my vehicle, the cost per litre was around Rs 8 in 1985-86.
Once I laid hand on my grandfather's diary. I got hold of an old petrol receipt issued in the year 1935. The receipt was for a gallon of petrol worth 12 annas only.
