Regarding how easy it is to put petrol into a diesel car, I visited a Shell station last week for V-Power petrol. I looked everywhere for the word petrol - on the pumps and signs and all across the site. All I could see was 'unleaded'. Many people have no idea what unleaded means. Why can't the word petrol be used and also why can't an artificial voice shout out the words petrol or diesel when the trigger is lifted from the pump.
...because if a MOTORIST doesn't know what the difference between 'diesel' and 'unleaded' (petrol) is (and which has different coloured pump nozzle ends), then they DESERVE to misfuel their vehicle. Its either stupidy, ignorance or sheer laziness that leads to misfueling. Why should filling stations (and thus everyone else, as they'll pass on the cost 100%) pay for expensive devices etc just to placate idiots and lazy so-and-so's?
