My boss ordered a petrol touran st the beginning of the year, the dealership apologises when they couldn't get one for hi. To test drive. The salesman said they'd he'd never sold a a petrol one before.

When he went to pick it up a few months later the dealership said that there had been a complete reversal and no-one was ordering oil burners anymore.

There is the possibility that the salesman was full of shit. I did some serious legwork round the garages before buying and one salesman said anyone with a petrol on the yard was just losing money and that they never sell. One large independent had two petrol cars out of 300+.

So, damage caused by Hurricane Harvey due to send petrol prices soaring over the next few days.

There's going to be a few confused punters at the automobile Q3 sales close I bet.

Obviously Trump will ensure the petrol flows - even if pesky things like repairing homes and hospitals has to wait.
