The Last Tank of Petrol

[AJS-]

Prompted by another thread about panic buying due to oil tanker strikes, and the ongoing fkery about the oil running out, I got to thinking, supposing that oil really did run out. Let's say you have the opportunity to buy one more tank of petrol, and when it's gone, it's gone. There are no substitutes, no replacements and no possibility of a black market developing. You haven't had time to plan for it. What would you do? What would be the last 300 or so miles of your petrol fueled life?

[gtdc]

Think I'd keep it for my generator.

[Pixel Pusher]

I'd blow 295 miles worth on a track day and save the rest for the lawn mower.

[ChandlerBing]

I'd drive down to Cornwall and watch the sun set

[Steamer]

Flambé a polar bear.

Putting it ebay might be an idea

[Bohally]

Buy an electric car.

(Sorry!)

[mrmr96]

Keep it for emergencies, like getting to hospital or something.

[MikeGTi]

Siphon from tank.

Use to set fire to enviro mentalists and lefties.

Rejoice.

Go to jail.

Who would decide that?? If YOU had a tank of petrol, and a million people didn't, I can guarantee there would be a market for it.

If it were mine, I'd sell it for thousands.

I know what you mean though. I'd save it for special days, when the sun was out and the roads were totally empty. Except unleaded only lasts about a week now before it goes off.....

[Captain Muppet]

I'd sell it to an idiot for a massive profit and keep pouring synthetic methanol in to my cars and bikes. Fuel you can burn in your petrol engine and all it's made out of is water, air and lots of electricity. Winner.

Although if your silly rule about no substitutes is in force, I'd probably still sell it to an idiot for a massive profit.

Or use it in my flame thrower to kill the zombies.

no chance

I'd keep it for the chainsaw

Electric car is only slightly gay


And electric chainsaw well thats full on homo with pink flowers and a bow on top

[Condi]

Put it in the bike and do a track day on a day like today.

[otherman]

Yeah, I think I'd siphon it into the bike and get a lot more miles out of it. Mind you, I think security would get to be a real issue. And starvation, seeing that most food is moved by road.

No point in that, people won't bother paying for it until the last few seconds before the auction ends.

[Fox-]

Use the car once a month for 20 miles or so. Nearly 2 years more motoring.

[6potdave]

Go to work every day for 8 days.

You hate 'snipers' so much you forgot how to spell, in your vitriol.

I believe you mean 'bidding'?
