I wonder how long before we start hearing about petrol thefts from parked cars! There are a couple of petrol heads near were i live ,i think one is an Evo ,i did not see them as there are trees at the bottom of our garden blocking the view of the road but one went past spitting and backfiring till it past the open road sign then took off like a screaming demon ,might not hear it again for a while if no petrol available 

I think an Evo driver is least likely to be syphoning petrol out of your Yaris.

Whilst i do not have a Yaris ,i am sure the likes of an Evo run on petrol although i NEVER said our local one was a petrol thief.

The Police Interceptors use Evos.

I highly suspect they are not petrol thieves...

Evo drivers are a different breed compared to ordinary motorists that just want to get from A-B

It was saying on the radio that shortages are more likely in built-up areas, rural areas are likely to be ok.

Jct8 M20 Maidstone Services had no fuel and Clacket Lane Services M25 was out as well for quite a few hours.

Step away from the repeats on daytime telly...

Mitsubishi have not sold new Evos in the UK since 2011, except for a brief period between 2014 and 15.

They will not be selling any new cars at all in the UK in the very near future.

And the other great rally car of the era evolved into a sluggish hatchback with acceleration measured in hours rather than seconds - seriously, nearly as slow as my Focus.  Still four-wheel drive though for the Subaru Impreza.
