That is true.
I can't see electricity taking off as a serious alternative. The range limits it to city driving where, as you say, most people can't park near their houses.

The simple fact is that people won't change until they don't have to change their lifestyle to embrace it.

And people like me won't change because we fucking love petrol.

Not at the current prices we fucking don't.

I do
although now it is unrequited as petrol's clearly fallen out of love with me and is just using me for my wallet :(

And to think I complained when it got to a quid a litre.
I didn't know I was fucking well off.

A pound a litre would save me
over £60 a month.

My car would cost about £38 to fill up when I bought it last year.
Now it's £47. The good thing about not working come the end of the month is I'll save a fair bit on petrol since I won't have to travel to stupid out of the way places for meetings. Or work.

Mine cost just under £45 to fill up when I got it.
now it's well over £60 and it even touched £70 a few weeks back.

Fucking outrageous.
