    I wonder how all this is affecting sales and interest in EVs?

    Filled The Wife's (tm) car up yesterday. No diesel at the pumps, all pumps busy but no queue. The only negative was that the first pump to come free was the wrong side for her car, so it was a stretch to get the nozzle in.

    Finally got around to filling up the wife's car with petrol. Had to try 5 stations, 1 had nothing, 3 had diesel only and the final one was fully operational with everything. No queues at any, 8pm Saturday night in Birmingham. After a date with Mr Bond at the cinema.

    Trip to the Welsh border barely nuged the fuel needle on mine so just under half a tank now. Should be good for another month with both cars.

    Someone on here should have told their 14 year old...
