Bangers forever

Sir, – When I took in my first car for a first fill of “juice”, I had to put in five gallons at 50 pence per gallon, for a grand total of £2.50! Now a full tank full is over 80 of these new-fangled euro, at nine of them per gallon, which is nearly what I paid for the old car back in the day! – Yours, etc,

Sir, – We are told that, due to the short supply of electric vehicles, second-hand cars have increased in value by 20 per cent. This means that my Toyota, in its 17th year, has increased in value by almost half a grand! Should I inform my insurance company? – Yours, etc,
