Driving without petrol is difficult

“And you can hitchhike on the highway
You can stand all alone by the side of the road
You can try to flag a ride back home, pretty mama
But you can’t ride in my car no more”

(Bob Dylan in Quit your low down ways)

A freezing petrol station in the snow

“Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.”

(W. Stevens in The snow man)

Were petrol prices too high here?

“So tell us will you oil companies
Tell us why
You jacked up the prices again
And we shall watch the pigs fly
Soon we shall all just walk or run
Because petrol prices will just be too high.”

(A. Steble in Petrol)

Fill your car with petrol and colors

"But with the passing years, the alien colours
Fall off like threadbare scales;
The creation of the genius emerges 
before us in its former beauty."

(A.S. Pushkin in Rebirth)
