With the totally insane petrol prices, i can see small city cars like ours, becoming hot property.
As we all know, the Gov receives nearly 90p in the pound in tax revenue, on both fuels, and once prices reach a certain level, they will not suddenly come down to what they were before Covid or the conflict.
On passing the petrol garages on Western Avenue this afternoon, standard petrol has now gone above £1.60 a litre for the first time, and there is no sign that the price has stabilized.
People will still covet and love their thirty gas guzzlers, but i can only see the value of nice example city runabouts, increase, and remain high.
As people see the cost of living for everything go sky high, those who need modes of transport, will probably see small fuel efficient runabouts, a more cost effective option.
A car that tops 60mpg, is cheap to insure, and tax, makes more sense now, than it did a few years ago, when petrol was a lot cheaper.
Heaven knows how much a litre of Shell V Power must be, i paid a dizzy £1.67 a while back, its got to be above £1.70, Crumbs.
