Dave Plowman (News) ) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Because unless you are doing 200 miles you never need to visit one.

Millions of people DO do that distance daily. Or more.

Assuming that for 5 days a week and 50 weeks that's 50,000 miles a year -
before any pleasure miles. I doubt millions do this sort of mileage.
(Based on looking at three year old ex lease cars at auction)

You don't need to do it EVERY day. Even if you just do 200 miles per day
once or twice a week, you'll be left stranded by electric cars.

This really is thick. How can you be stranded when there service stations
all over the place. He thinks he is crossing deserts.
