Last night, as is normal on a Sunday evening in my house, I had a relaxing evening watching BBC Top Gear<\/a>. During the news section, Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> smashed up an extremely annoying device with a light-sensor to detect when a car’s fuel filler cap is opened and warn you to use only diesel fuel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I thought it was funny and that no-one would actually buy one, until this morning I received one in the post from the lease company that owns my company car<\/a> along with a letter mandating that I fit it to the car and warning that I will be personally liable for any damage caused by any future misfuelling (I have, of course, told them that I will install the thing but have refused to comply with the liability part).<\/p>\n

I understand why they are doing this – the AA motoring trust<\/a> has produced a report which details the problem<\/a> along with some interesting statistics about misfuelling call-outs<\/a>. I also admit that I did previously (many years ago) accidentally put half a tank of petrol into a diesel car as well as nearly filling the tank of this car with petrol when it was new (on both occasions, I had been using a petrol car for the previous few weeks), but the lease company waited 6 weeks to send this to me and I definitely know to use diesel now!<\/p>\n

Misfuelling may be expensive and embarrassing, but this thing is a) loud b) American c) tacky d) noise-polluting e) extremely embarrassing! If you don’t believe me, then listen to how it sounds<\/a> yourself.<\/p>\n

Add to that, I’ve had to fit this horrible thing to a car about which Clarkson wrote:<\/p>\n

    “You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve deliberately gone your own way, deliberately bought something that isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a BMW or a Merc or an Audi. And in the process you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ended up with something that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not only a little bit different, but also rather good.”<\/ol>\n

    [Jeremy Clarkson, Sunday Times, 13 November 2005<\/a>]<\/p>\n

    I’m dreading my next visit to a filling station forecourt. As my wife said, at least it will be a talking point – let’s see if she still thinks that as she cowers down in the passenger seat pretending she’s not there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
