Motoring Question

If you drive a car forward, it consumes petrol.   Why can't it make petrol when you drive it in reverse??

A few years ago when fuel prices had just gone up -- yet again -- there was somebody who said

"Oh, it won't affect me at all.  I always put in just £10 worth each week, and that's what I'll continue to do."

As long as he intends to travel less distance as petrol prices rise then that would work.. :D
