fuggstop Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Have you seen a gasoline truck filling up the gas station? 2
KimopoBotar Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Holy shit no. I've never seen a postal service truck at gas station in my entire life. I'm high af and this is too much. I'm gonna have to Google it.
KimopoBotar Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 K, I didn't find an actual answer. Mostly cause the page i found wouldn't load. But my friend says she knows for a fact that government vehicles have private gas facilities. Why aren't they electric though i got so hopeful god damnit

I don't think it's the engines so much as the batteries, but yeah. Cost is the obvious answer, despite the fact that it would likely save a shit load in the long run. Engines are just electric motors. You could probably hook up a dryer motor to each wheel and program a Raspberry pi for each motor to direct the power output. The batteries are insanely expensive though.

Yea, the batteries...and I know that a gas engine produces electricity but how many service vehicles that would be required to be switched out would cost a lot.

cyberbully Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 They have their own pumps.....The same reason you never see a school bus at a gas station....Well, not getting gas anyway. 2
bnmjy Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 It's illegal for mail trucks to put themselves in situations that may require them to reverse, if I remember correctly.

Majin Mayhem Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Most public service vehicles have their own gas...so cops, ambulance, fire trucks, post office, taxi companies...

I would've sworn to God I saw a cop getting gas once... It may very well not have happened, but I feel like that's a thing I've seen happen.
tsar4 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 This one's about to...well, the person driving it anyway.

That can depend on the area though. I grew up in a rural area and the Highway Patrols who lived and worked in the area all had cards for gas. The city cops and whatnot all used the city facilities though.
