When you take into consideration how many electric cars are on the road, would they actually need to ration fuel?

:-k

I know of one that is petrol. :wink:

No issues with emissions, no issues with DPF, no issues with ERG valves.

Never ever going back to diesel.

Our local Esso garage ran out of diesel last Sunday ( nothing unusual, they were waiting for a delivery) some muppet put it on facebook and within an hour there was no fuel, petrol or diesel, available for miles around! Monday morning and all the garages were full of fuel and no customers. #-o

Our local Tesco is always running out at the moment because there are not enough tanker drivers to keep them all supplied.
