UK Petrol protest/Blockage news update.. // Panic buying empties stations!

<< < (2/3) > >>

TNB:
A lot of stations around here have been running out of Diesel, plus the queues at the petrol stations have been pretty big which has lead to some stations putting a limit of around £10-£20 of petrol per customer.

You do realize that in the long run, you're going to be paying more for the upkeep of the car's batteries than I will driving a non hybrid right?

Have fun bumping dipset in your money pit moron!

--- Quote ---How long does the Prius battery last and what is the replacement cost?

The Prius battery (and the battery-power management system) has been designed to maximize battery life. In part this is done by keeping the battery at an optimum charge level - never fully draining it and never fully recharging it. As a result, the Prius battery leads a pretty easy life. We have lab data showing the equivalent of 180,000 miles with no deterioration and expect it to last the life of the vehicle. We also expect battery technology to continue to improve: the second-generation model battery is 15% smaller, 25% lighter, and has 35% more specific power than the first. This is true of price as well. Between the 2003 and 2004 models, service battery costs came down 36% and we expect them to continue to drop so that by the time replacements may be needed it won't be a much of an issue.  Since the car went on sale in 2000, Toyota has not replaced a single battery for wear and tear.

It ain't all bad i was chatting to my rhodesian friend from zimbabwae the otherday and she said they get crazy shortages and when they find out theres a delivery they sometimes have to wait through the night queueing to get it.

on a side note thats totally irrelivant she has some huge jugs shes a natural 32 FF and shes only 5ft2", I can't help but play around with them whenever i see her.

Mindless Minority:
^Yeah but if she's from Zimbabwe isn't she black?

Don Rizzle:
no she is white thats why i said rhodesian because zimbabwae was called rhodesia until the early 80s when mugabe took power.

Fucked up thing is shes gonna get kicked out of the country in march when her visa expires, she has british roots  because it was a british colony. but because it goes back 4 generations it doesn't count in the eyes of the law. we seem to let in any old person in from asia and africa but we can't allow brits home from zimbabwae of all places.
