You can do it with pipes but I think the cost / risk (with
petrol, compared with water or gas) wouldn't be viable,

It is actually. Done with airports and ports all the time now.

Except your reply was premature, that aren't spread across the country
or operated by 'Joe Public'.

And with that pipeline that just got hacked in the USA too.

See above.

especially retrospectively throughout a density populated
country like ours (and for direct usage by Joe Public).

Works fine with airports, ports etc.

See above.

I know they 'can' pump all sort of stuff fairly long distances (Dad
was on Shell Tankers for 12 years) but it's funny that after 100 years
of the IC engine, they still don't (for Joe Public to access)?
