And there's the crux. At some point in the future it will become uneconomic to run a refinery or the price of fuel will rise so much that we can't afford to fill a tank? I guess that time will be somewhere in the mid 2030's? How log does the average car last these days? Guess 8-10 years? As 2030 approaches there'll be fewer and fewer people wanting to "risk" buying a non electric vehicle for fear of only getting a few years out of it.

Anyhoo, I'll be 75 by then and completely doolally. But just in case, I'm planning on digging a big hole in my front garden and then, when nobody is looking, late one night, I'm hijacking the last fuel tanker out of Ellesmere Port. Hopefully it's going to have a nice load of petrol and diesel on board.
