Do any BP or Amoco stations in the US or elsewhere have this absurd policy? The first VW Beetles had this same feature until the early 60's. Sounds like another ploy by the anti DESTINATION League of the WEF to get people into EVs, like it or not and ultimately restrict if not prohibit our mobility

Just how are they going to limit what cars get gas at a self-service gas station? Ain’t happening.

Residential homes and apartments being built are on track for a ban on bathtubs. Only showers with less than 1.5gpm flow reducers will be allowed.

I have long taken a vow to walk before getting fuel at a bp or affiliate station. I positively hate bp.

How many people actually watched the video?

This the UK, not the US.

The UK is where freedom has already died.

For those who don't want to bother watching: the car in question had the gas cap inside the rear engine compartment.

It is a BP rule apparently but has nothing to do classic cars, but where the gas tank is located. The rule says no doors, trunks, etc can be open while filling.

I’m guessing it is a rule to help prevent theft of gas or something.

That’s pretty neat they put a spare engine in the trunk of that car.

Never heard of that before. But then again, where the fill valve is located on that car, that's an explosion waiting to happen.....

I think that car was manufactured by the Darwin Automotive Company....

The BP station in town here closed for two years after the Gulf of Mexico blow out.
Everyone stopped going to the station and it eventually shut down.

It has had two other people who have leased it since. They both closed after six months.

The most recent people who leased it are Muslims. I stopped by there shortly after they first opened. The dude inside the store was on his prayer rug over in the corner.
I turned around and walked out.

Per Wiki:

Red Barchetta” is a song by the Canadian rock band Rush, from their 1981 studio album Moving Pictures.

Background
The song was inspired by the futuristic short story “A Nice Morning Drive”, written by Richard Foster and published in the November 1973 issue of Road & Track magazine. The story describes a similar future in which increasingly stringent safety regulations have forced cars to evolve into massive Modern Safety Vehicles (MSVs), capable of withstanding a 50-mile-per-hour (80 km/h) impact without injury to the driver. Consequently, drivers of MSVs have become less safety-conscious and more aggressive, and “bouncing” (intentionally ramming) the older, smaller cars is a common sport among some.

Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart made several attempts to contact Foster during the recording of Moving Pictures but Road & Track did not have an up-to-date address and Rush were forced to settle for a brief “inspired by” note in the lyric sheet mentioning the story. In July 2007, Foster and Peart finally made contact with each other. Foster later posted on his website an account of their journey by motorcycle through the backwoods of West Virginia between stops on Rush’s 2007 Snakes & Arrows Tour.

Barchetta, literally “small boat” in Italian, is the diminutive form of barca (”boat” or “craft”). In the automotive industry, the term is used for a two-seat car without any kind of roof. The proper Italian pronunciation is [barˈketta], with a /k/ rather than the /tʃ/ sung by Geddy Lee. Neil Peart’s favorite car was the 1948 Ferrari 166MM ″Barchetta″.

British Petroleum used to have a lot of gas stations in California, but they have all disappeared.
