I'm old enough to remember when the prices went above £1 a litre, all the garages having to get their signs updated so they could have four digits on the price. Some of them using wheelie bin stickers or handwritten "1"s as a stop gap.
Wonder what they'll do this time around, the ones that didn't think far enough ahead to have a full seven-segment display fitted?
A few months back we idly pondered using my partner's PIP towards getting a new EV. As we don't have a driveway and we rent, we'd have to take the offer that includes membership to one of the charging schemes. Thing is, it includes the subscription, but not the cost of the charging, which ends up being only just shy of what petrol costs. And the nearest charger is a mile away.
Especially as commercial chargers are waaaaayyy more expensive per unit, makes the financial savings argument disappear too.

So we just bought an old, cheap petrol car.
