Getting Petrol in the electric future


With all this talk about manufacturers converting over to strictly electric one has to wonder how are we going to purchase gas In the future. 

Manufacturers will stop making them but they are still going to be on the Road.

I suspect there will still be gas stations but fewer numbers of pumps. Kind of like what the propane powered vehicle owners face now.

It's already at orbital prices way out there in the dark hole :(

I don't think we'll see prices under a buck where it should be !!!

I am just hoping we can still get what we need while we still have our cars.

My guess is that gas will be around as long as there is a market for it, unless the government outlaws it completely some day.  Can't see that happening, though, as oil production is still a large part of our economy.

Probably what will happen is that the supply will decrease as demand decreases, and like Todd said, there will be fewer pumps around.

Maybe some day in the long distant future, gasoline powered vehicles will only be a hobby, much like horse riding and racing are today.  Perhaps at that point people will only be able to drive their gas powered vehicles on a track somewhere, or during special events like parades and tours.  Hard to say, but I agree that we will probably be dust by that time.

 Yeah... I've often said if I could come back as a young person today vs being my age and having had the experience of growing up when I did, I wouldn't take it.  Not only is much of the fun, freedom, and privacy gone, the "music" really sucks!  

I'm now starting to sound like a real old codger... get off my lawn!  wink

 I already have 4 of them.  A "young man car" is a bicycle or bus these days.

When the technology allows it, whats to stop someone from creating a conversion kit to migrate to electric. Electric crate motors if you will?

This is already being done, and it even looks (if you squint) like a V8

There is a crate motor that bolts in where a Chevy small or big block used to be. I think the motor runs about 12 grand and then another 10 for batteries. GM also teased a drop in electric motor at SEMA a couple of years ago.
