Thats gonna really help the holiday market for France! Everyone will add a Mad Max style fuel tank to the length of the Car + Caravan!

I wonder how this will effect the second hand car market over the next few years for those like me that keep their daily drives for a long time. It might be worth considering a hybrid.
At some point in my lifetime, I expect the majority of petrol engined cars will become worthless as only electric, self-driving vehicles will be permitted on public roads. Maybe a 250GTO will retain value as a museum piece, but for a lot of people, a sportscar or GT or barge that they can't actually use on the road will make no sense. Perhaps there will be the opportunity to drive these cars on track, maybe LPG will be an option if we don't go down the fully autonomous route, maybe there will be a period where petrol cars are just taxed very heavily so you can take the hit if you choose.
This is why I have a GS and I'm currently looking to replace my leased diesel Mazda with a BMW 550 touring if I can find one.
And I wonder whether you'd be able to pick up a Lambo for £10k if they announced that they'd be banned from the road in 12 months' time. I'd get one, take a sabbatical from work and rack up 100k miles in it!

If I'm alive, I'll be 78 by then so I won't give a dead ratsass anyway.
