Anyway, if filling the vapour canister with gas, then filling our garage with fumes and stinking the house could be likely, we probably shouldn't park on a slope either.

Top tip - after filling your car brim full in hot weather, give it death for the first 15 minutes to make room in the tank for expansion :racing: :mrgreen: I've seen fuel bubbling out of a motorcycle's tank as the petrol warmed up after being pumped out of the underground tank.

There's a quarry in Switzerland that uses electric hail trucks. They're loaded at the top of a hill, emptied at the bottom.

The increased weight of the vehicle will mean that, in the long run, the actual mpg will be far short of the claims. But over short journeys and by using electric where possible, your ...

Serious question: is it the case that pressing both pedals can cause issues in some cars? Not sure what you mean about "causing issues", but it's very common now for brake input to cut the throttle. /\ That :gear: So, presumably, left foot braking and H&T will gradually become impossi...
