It quoted one [unnamed] metricationalist as saying "[The White Paper] is not firming things up at all. It will turn us into a dual country". Studies of the British metrication programme included two by US government agencies – NASA in October 1976 and the National Bureau of Standards in April 1979. Both reports noted that the British metrication programme lacked leadership from government. This manifest itself in many ways including: These sentiments were echoed in the final report of the Metrication Board.

This V8 engine was also used in two other models, the Lamborghini Silhouette in 1976-1977 in which it kept the 3.0-litre displacement, and the slightly updated replacement in 1982, the Lamborghini Jalpa, which saw the engine increased in size to 3.5 litres, displacing , for ease in meeting ever-tighter emissions requirements.

Shell UK Ltd v Lostock Garages Ltd Shell UK Ltd v Lostock Garages Ltd [1976] 1 WLR 1187 is an English contract law and UK competition law case concerning implied terms and restraint of trade. Lostock and Shell had a written contract that Shell would supply petrol and oil to Lostock, in return for Lostock buying its goods from Shell exclusively. In a price war, Shell reduced its petrol prices for some nearby petrol stations. Customers went there, and Lostock had no choice but to trade at a loss.

In addition to this high fuel consumption and poor performance, the vehicle was maintenance-intensive; the sprockets needed to be changed every 500 km.

in 1962 it was David Turner’s decision to start selling oil, based on the view that as more and more people were turning from coal to oil for home heating, “one followed the customer or lost the business”. In 1967 Bayford moved to new premises in Pepper Road, off Hunslet Road, Leeds and Bayford also began importing cargoes of oil from abroad via Immingham, to feed its Fleet storage facility and its tankers. This was a first for a UK independent company. In 1969 Bayford decided to market low price petrol. The name "Thrust" was inspired by news reports of

The Australian government became involved in the scam in a number of ways—through defence-force agencies and personnel, through the export agency Austrade and directly through successful lobbying of federal minister for science Julie Bishop and Prime Minister John Howard himself.

Petrol-paraffin engine A petrol-paraffin engine, TVO engine (United Kingdom) or gasoline-kerosene engine (North America) is an old-fashioned type of dual-fuel internal combustion engine with spark-ignition, designed to start on petrol (gasoline) and then to switch to run on paraffin (kerosene) once the engine is warm. The grade of paraffin used is known as tractor vaporising oil in the UK. The advantages of the petrol-paraffin engine are that (compared to petrol): Some of these advantages have become illusory since paraffin, once widely available as a cheap fuel, has become rarer and more expensive, particularly in developed countries.

This was intended to attract fleet managers, since UK (and Italian) tax laws benefitted vehicles under 2.0 litres. A combination of changes in taxation and lack of power for such a heavy vehicle led to the demise of this engine, despite its fitting to several Discoveries supplied to the British Royal family.

Both of these top of the range models were initially only available in the UK with the V6. In some European markets, in particular Italy, the 2.0 litre petrol was badged as Sterling and later available (in turbo form) as Vitesse to avoid punitive duties that made engines over 2.0 litres non-viable for volume sales. Towards the end of Mark 1 production the Vitesse had nearly as many "luxury" features as the Sterling (for example, electric front seats).

The head of Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command said, "It is obvious that if the device had detonated there could have been serious injury or loss of life."

The 49th Fighter Group had learnt through experience that there was nothing to be gained by dogfighting with a Zero. This type of combat resulted in increased fuel consumption which if left unchecked could lead to fuel starvation. The Kittyhawk pilots had therefore developed the diving-pass technique and avoided close quarter combat whenever this was possible. The Spitfires persisted with the dogfighting technique until 2 May when

Skovshoved Petrol Station The Skovshoved Petrol Station () is a historic, still-operating filling station in Skovshoved at the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. First opened in 1936, it was designed by Arne Jacobsen and is an example of the functionalist style typical of the time. It is Class A listed and was thoroughly restored in 2002. The filling station was originally commissioned by Amoco but is now operated by Uno-X. Whilst the pumps and the roof are still used as petrol station, the cashiers building now houses a shop, selling ice-cream, with no relation to the petrol-station business and operation.
