As you may have noticed, the price of fuel is on the up. Obviously the knee-jerk reaction is to burn some sheep, organise an ineffectual ‘Don’t Drive Day’, or just sigh heavily. However, I have resolved to do something practical about it this time.
Previously I have got huffy and joined the Battery Vehicle Society a few times. I also looked into those on-board hydrodgen plants that cost £500, and those rather cheaper jam jar based ones that probably start to corrode your manifold and cylinder heads prematurely. Yes, I even read up about those daft magnets. Indeed, I was with a mechanic the other day when he found some on a E39 525i, and he couldn’t stop laughing.
