Rubbish. Of course it does due to air resistance. Simple physics.

What if the wind is behind you?
Can't tell if serious?

Or what if you're on a treadmill?

I saw a Tesla in the queue last Friday night which at the time I thought rather odd, I can only assume he was wanting the tyre machine maybe or perhaps he’d intended to fill up his partners car but had taken the wrong one?Love a good bandwagon me. I'm almost tempted to join one of these queues, and I own an electric car

Ita absolutely ridiculous in the SE and London now, news outlets need to be held accountable for causing this carnage.
That's not true. The optimal fuel consumption is at 90 km/h, everything below and above results in higher fuel consumption.
0 l/100km you get when you don't touch the throttle while you keep a certain gear.
No police sorting things out on the roads, no signs of any tankers, not one person with half a brain in the petrol stations with a chip and pin on the forecourt. Bet most filling up still need to get their coffee and lunch.

Same goes for the loo roll gate.
The media need to apologise to the essential retail workers who have been subjected to abuse and shouted at, when most of problems we had zero control of.
People who shout at retail staff are horrible and never worked in retail. Love to see them to work an hour on 23/12 (busiest trade day of the year) to see how they cope. They won’t! I’m looking to leave retail. Have updated CV and sent it to some companies.
If the media didn’t show photos of people buying 230 loo rolls, empty shelves, large queues at petrol stations and locks on pumps - we wouldn’t have these situations!
I had two panic attacks, hardly slept as crying and on antidepressants due to horrible customers. A few have been banned from the store due to their aggressive behaviour. Wish we could playback what customers have shouted at us to them. If they don’t respond in a way that they have regretted their actions, they are nasty people.

I can't find any in Nottingham now, I thinks it's bone dry. Probably not going to be able to return to work next week at this rate.

Maybe tuffing out the vehicles with more than a third of a tank out of the queues will help. Exceptions include those who work in directly in health, care, teaching, retail, haulage, utilities etc. Not talking admin roles in these jobs.
Again not true. It varies between cars depending on actor, rolling resistance, engine, weight and gearing. Most cars fall between 45mph and 50mph for optimal fuel economy.
How does that work if you are on a 300 miles journey for work and a third of a tank wont get you there?

Realised I can use my company Shell card at the local Texaco garage so popped down and the queue was not too bad but they started putting cones behind my car so I was the last one in!
A BMW driver then used the exit to drive in and nip in behind me and started filling up cans from his boot.

I got down here fine, stopped at the Shell garage just after Burton and chucked £50 of diesel in.
we’ve still not wrapped filming, so a nice late drive home later.
