  1. Most (sensible) businesses will opt for the smaller profit rather than pricing themselves so high chasing the same profit that they drive all their customers to the alternative and put themselves out of business altogether. Not sure share holders would agree
  2. Okay. Now, why am I doing that again? Can you highlight the price i cant see it He's saying barely anyone is allowed to sell it, not that they're choosing not to sell it, so it's a different scenario. its not though is it his point was as petrol wont be needed its price will drop 4 star isnt need its price went up as its a luxury a hard to find item, If anyone thinks there will be 10,000 garages selling petrol in the UK when 80% of road users have converted into Ev i think your mad (its an opinion so its allowed), it will become a luxury item and we will pay threw the nose for you sell 1 million barrels and make profit which for arguments sake is 10,000 now you struggle selling 200,000 and you need to make the same 10,000 profit but on 80% less stock only one way that's happening
  3. No, I'm a little too busy to go round phoning companies for prices of a redundant fuel type, especially one which decline was directly relating to legislation rather than a choice of alternatives, you know like we were talking about before 4 Star tangeant. Unless you're implying that with the meteoric rise of EV's in the next 5 years that the Government is going to all-but-outlaw petrol along the way as well? (Or what he said^^ ) you can still buy 4 star and last time i saw it was around 1.90-2.00 a litre, so your point of less demand lowers the price is erm invalid

  6. But at the same time, demand for petrol will decrease as demand for EV's increase. Supply & demand dictates that EV prices will subsequently increase whilst petrol price will decrease. Thus nullifying that gap again. try buying 4 star cheap
  7. i would agree with that as things stand at the moment in time, but with the future and prediction of fuel hitting £1.50 within 12 months and in a handful of years time battery capacity will increase i think that gap with become alot larger another thing would you rather A electric EV car that human controlled or a fossil fuel car thats driverless
  8. true but if you use more than one tank a month (i know i do) and included road duty servicing costs (ie cambelts plugs filters etc) in a fossil burner i dont think it is as high over a year another thing to think about didn't Audi make fuel for water recently or was that all a scam
  9. I recall something about your lease the battery pack from them and then when it dies they replace it, which is trying copying and pasting and it jsut messed it up https://www.renault.co.uk/vehicles/new-vehicles/zoe/battery-and-charging.html
  10. But who fixed the first computers, Tv, Washing machiens etc, it will be the same way as anything New starts out manufactures train people who leave over time and the skills roll down hill
  11. This is why buying cheap cars with big engines is fun: Fuel may cost you more, but you can get a hell of a lot of the stuff for the £££ you save! Also taking into account of the example given of a 30k depreciation on a Tesla, it would "cost" you less to run an old smoker But then all cars depreciate? so not a valid argument a looking on nissan used cars a Gtr Loses £20k in a year no point buying one of them either then if thats your argument we might as well all drive around in £300 gumtree bangers as they will always have the crap value and where did the 30K depreciation come from on Autotrader 2014 Telsa p85 with 11k on a the clock up for 64,950 list price is 79,000
  12. Ev will be king but in 50-60 years i think we have got a long period of hybrids before then

  16. Yea the monopros i had on my is200 where fantastic but we fitted the dual techs to friends is200 and there just poor in comparison to the dual techs i have never driven on teins but a friends with a Rx7 does plenty of track work and seems to rate his very much I think you confused yourself there... Fitted dual tech and they were poor in comparison to dual tech? Yea, I love Teins! I have EDFC with mine and I love gadgets like that...so extra bonus haha damn it and i only gave Grundy @*!# for doing that the other day about his ring trip
  17. Yea the monopros i had on my is200 where fantastic but we fitted the dual techs to friends is200 and there just poor in comparison to the monopro i have never driven on teins but a friends with a Rx7 does plenty of track work and seems to rate his very much
  18. Not to my knowledge mate, closest is the BC price wise or get the hsd monopro versions
  19. Welcome to the World of Z
  20. not all on a Zed granted but i have Owned Miesters R, HSD mono pro, driven cars on KW and BC and HSD Dual Tech are the worse i have used,The Expensive HSD the MonoPro where lovely and at the time the DUal techs wernt out so when i got me Z i went dual techs as HSD was good last time and im far from impressed by them. a little comparison KW are fanatastic as there firm and solid yet give a smooth ride The Dual Tech seem to be the opposite They Give a crashy hard ride whilst still being very boaty and lose We have played around trying different damping setting and adjusting the tension on the spring but when im doing my drifting and pictures from Castle combe at japfest prove even on hardest setting the car was still boating to a point that on some pictures you cant see the tyre wall as its in the arch i have never had this on a set of coilovers before, Even the lexus is200 version of the dual techs dont come close to that of the monopros there is no stiffness in them just a crashy rebound, I mean as always its horse for courses but i was unimpressed and when everything else is sorted i will be swapping out for something else
  21. yea its bobs and Keyser bitch with the tailgate up behind it
  22. dont just dont worse coilovers i have used
  23. Well that was a bit of a let down
  24. Was this before or after you took your strippy bmw on the pride parade
  25. i also wonder how many years untill we can wirelessly charge a car as the tech for wireless phone charging is starting to trickle out so having a large charging pad in car parks/drive ways to charges cars all the time there not in use, or even at red lights to give a quick top up
