I know they 'can' pump all sort of stuff fairly long distances

Across the entire country and entire regions in fact.

Quite. Interested to know many long distance *petrol* pipelines are in
action around the world though.

(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)?

Yes they do.

Not that I was talking about this but are you saying it's the norm for
petrol stations to be 'plumbed in' (other than those that are quite
near terminals / refineries)?

I was actually saying that they haven't plumbed petrol to people homes
(in the same way they have with water and gas (even then not in all
locations) and after all these years?
