Climate Crisis: Are we doing enough?

[Shortfall]

You never make a special trip to get petrol?

Anyway - the point is that refuelling in an EV is a different process and philosophy. Many people consider it a deal breaker or inconvenient. I think of it as a different kind of convenience. A little chance to relax on a longer journey. I prefer it.

If only it was possible for ICE vehicles to leave the motorway network and stop at places with cheaper petrol and nicer places to eat than service stations.

I might have to get some more petrol after Easter. But I'm not sure yet.

Go on then. Name a restaurant or pub that has it's own petrol pump.

I can't, but if you think that's stopping anyone finding a petrol station and a nice eatery that are a short distance from the motorway then I can't help you. Not that you need to stop for petrol on 99% of journeys as I reckon most ICE cars can cover 400 plus miles in a oner.

Do young people really need to be taught? Changing a wheel, okay maybe, but washer fluid? Really? Using a petrol pump?

How are these people going to cope with things like making toast?

Well, they went on to be Senior Nurse Practioner, Maths Teacher, and Civil Engineer.

None of them have miss-fueled a car, one of them has actually "learned" how to charge an EV. None of them have topped up the coolant instead of the windscreen washer, or, poured water in the oil filler.

I haven't checked on their toast making abilities.

It doesn’t need its own though, just one somewhere on the route between the motorway and said restaurant or pub.

My dead father (before he died, of course) proudly proclaimed he couldn't even 'cook toast'. He knew where the oil and washer fluid went though.

In the plug, or socket, obviously. Never in the toaster, as it makes the toast taste funny.
