We will look at this. There is always the possibility of having specialist stocks, or are looking at specialist stocks for that, but to my mind it will not be mainstream. We are not going to have an entire alternative petrol distribution system in every forecourt right across the country. That would be a hugely expensive way to provide fuel for a tiny percentage of vehicle owners. We can and will look at whether there is a possibility for people who have very old vehicles, be they vintage car enthusiasts or others, to make sure they have some access to fuel so they are not disadvantaged.
