Here's the scenario. We have finally drained the earth of oil. Each person is allowed one last tank of petrol (or diesel). You can have any vehicle with a full tank of fuel (it doesn't have to be one that you own or even one that you can afford) and it will be taken to a destination of your choice.

I can't ever envisage myself buying one in the real world but I would probably choose to go out in style and noise with a red Aventador on the Route Napoleon (a road that I've always wanted to drive but haven't). That would be pretty epic!

What vehicle would you like your tank of fuel in and where would you want it to be taken?

I'd stick with my 535 Sport - the amount of mileage I do, that final tankful would last me months!

I would have a fuel transporter and just hook up the big tank to drip into the small tank. Easy. Mad Max style cow catcher and spikes and stuff so I can keep my roads clear of the littered-about Veyrons and stuff and we're sorted.

No more fuel,no more car.

Give it a good polish,then a nice drive to get rid of half a tankful


Then

Burn the thing
Turn around walk away and don't look back.

3/4 a tank in a GT3 at the Nurburgring, 1/4 in a 355 for driving through tunnels. Or is that cheating? hehe

No that sounds acceptable and in keeping with the spirit of the thread, unlike some responses!

No more oil eh?
Someone's tuned a pug 205 TD to something ridiculous. I'd have that, with a bosch fuel pump and a stload of chip fat.

a 60's Ferrari P4 with an Endurance fueltank.
I would get a large electric vehicle and a trailer. Then I'd go on an epic tour of the world driving the Ferrari at all of the best circuits. I might only be able to afford a couple of laps at each but to me that'd be a damn sight better than burning it up on Britains public roads...
The extra benefit of the Ferrari is that it'd make a fantastic work of art, obviously. And after driving all of those amazing circuits, I'd display it in it's rubber and dead insect spattered condition, hopefully with heat blueing on the tyres and brake dust on the wheels.
