What is the usual way to say something along the lines of "when I was young, petrol was cheap" or "when I was a kid, my family lived in Mexico".

You can say:
- 当我年轻的时候，...
- 我年轻的时候，...
- 年轻的时候，...
- 年轻时，...
In these cases, you are talking about the time when you were a young man (note: not a kid nor a teenager). Perhaps you are now in your 40s/50s/60s etc, and you are talking about your 20s/30s.
You could also say:
- 当我年幼的时候，...
- 当我还小的时候,...
- 我年幼的时候，...
- 我还小的时候，...
- 我小时候，...
- 小时候，...
In these cases, you are talking about the time when you were a kid or teenager.

I'm not a native speaker but I have seen it as:
我小时候...

我小时候 means you were younger that 10 years old, more or less.– http8086Commented Aug 21, 2014 at 14:08
