petrol

It is no exaggeration to say that petrol is the very life blood of civilization as we know it. More than simply being the "Black Gold" or "Texas Tea" once humorously popularized by television's Beverly
Hillbillies, the fabric of society hinges on the flow of sweet, precious petrol.


Petrol isn't just the means of how people and goods, and everything else gets around from one place to the next. Indeed, it's much more than that. Petrol is essentially the glue which binds us. It heats our homes and cooks our food.

Wars are fought over it, and the most powerful governments on earth have risen and fallen because of it.

Even so, the most practical, oft-used application of petrol remains the Motor Oil powering the engines of our automobiles and other modes of transportation. One need look no further than the ever rising and falling prices at the gas pump to see that.

You'll find bloggers spilling about petrol at sites like Petrol For Dogs and That Petrol Emotion.
