Shane: Thanks for having me. And thanks for the shameless cross-promotion.

Host: What’s a flat tyre, Shane?

Shane: It’s a pain in the backside, that’s what. When your tyre goes flat, you can’t drive and get stuck in the middle of who-knows-where, which isn’t fun. Deflated tyres make for deflated spirits.

Host: Aw, that’s no good. What can the viewers at home do to avoid flat tyres in future?

Shane: Other than avoiding bumpy roads, they can switch their front and back tyres regularly and always make sure there’s enough air in their tyres.

(The host’s mobile phone goes off suddenly. He answers it mid-interview.)

Host: Hi, this is James from 24/7 Roadservices Australia, how can I help? Oh, you have a flat tyre in Revesby? Oh yeah, I know where that is. Do you mind holding for a sec? (The host puts the customer on hold.) Shane, I know we’re doing an interview, but do you mind changing a flat tyre on the corner of Northam Avenue and Mavis Street in Revesby?

Shane: Absolutely. Tell the customer I’ll be there in five minutes.

(The host takes the customer off hold.)

Host: Thank you for holding. The provider will be there in five minutes and we will pay for it since you bought a renewable three-star membership for only $62.10 a year, which includes flat tyre coverage.

(Shane leaves and comes back 30 minutes later.)

Shane: Sorry about that.

Host: That’s okay. So, how long does it take you to change a flat tyre?

Shane: Well, I changed that customer’s tyre in 20 minutes, but it usually takes me no more than 30.

Host: Man, that’s quick. Hey Shane, what causes a tyre to go flat?

Shane: Usually, you drive over a sharp thing, like a nail or whatever. The nail goes through the tyre, penetrates the tube on the inside and all the air comes out. Less usually, your tyre can deflate due to potholes on the road, or cuz you put too much or not enough air in the tyre.

Host: All right. Let’s do a bit of roleplay, shall we? I’m a 24/7 customer. I just drove over a nail at 3 am and my rear tyre is flat. What is the first thing I should do?

Shane: Turn on your hazard lights.

Host: Why would I do that?

Shane: So that, when I come to change your tyre, I can see where you are. It’s also a good idea to let other drivers know you’re in trouble.

Host: Okay, so I put my hazard lights on to let other people see me. What do I do after that, boss?

Shane: Next, you need to pull over to a safe location with a wide shoulder, which isn’t on a hill.

Host: Okay, so I pulled over to a safe location. What now?

Shane: You put your handbrake on to stop the vehicle from rolling. And then you call 24/7.

Host: I like that answer! So, I call 24/7 and they send you out to help me. I then give you a call. “Please help me, Shane! I’ve pulled over to a safe location and I’ve put my handbrake and hazards on! My tyre is useless! What do I do now?!”

Shane: Whatever you do, don’t drive your car.

Host: “Why not?!”

Shane: Cuz if you keep driving it, you’re gonna mess up your wheels and suspension even more and you’ll be up for even more money.

Host: “All right, I’m gonna stay put in my car until you show up.” Now, let’s fast-forward to your arrival. I’m in the car, playing chess on my phone.

Shane: “Hello there. I’m Shane, the owner of Jacked Up. I’m here to change your tyre. Do you mind getting out of the car? It isn’t safe for you to be in there while I’m changing your tyre.”

Host: “Hi Shane. Thank God you’re here! Sure, I’ll get out.” I get out of the car.

Shane: Okay, the next thing I would do is get my tools, which would include a wheel brace, wheel wedges, a jack, a piece of two-by-six-inch wood to secure the jack and a flashlight to help me locate your fully inflated and roadworthy spare tyre.

Host: Meanwhile, I’m chilling by the side of the road, watching cars pass by as I put my friend in check.

Shane: Then, I would place my handy wheel wedges in front of your front tyres to be extra sure that your car won’t roll. After that, I would use the flat end of my wheel brace to take off your balanced wheel’s hubcap. Once the hubcap is off, I’m turning the wheel nuts in your bad wheel counterclockwise to loosen them. It’s better to loosen them now when the car ain’t jacked than to loosen them later when it is, otherwise the car will roll off the jack and you or I could get seriously hurt. I won’t eradicate the wheel nuts; I’ll just give them a quarter to a half of a counter-clockwise tur–

(The host’s phone goes off again. It’s another 24/7 call-out. Shane leaves and then comes back again.)

Host: Apologies to the viewers for that second interruption. Now, Shane, where were we? Ah, you were about to jack up my car. How do you do that?

Shane: First, I would place a non-makeshift jack under your car and alongside your flat tyre. Then, I would place a small woodcut beneath your jack.

Host: And why would you do that?

Shane: To prevent your jack from settling under your car’s weight and coming off balance.

Host: Righto.

Shane: The next thing I would do is raise your car till the flat tyre’s about 5-6 inches above the ground.

Host: “Hey, Shane, what you’re doing to my car looks interesting. Do you mind if I get under the car to have a closer look?”

Shane: I only recommend doing so if you want to get crushed under your car and die.

Host: “…I’ll just continue playing chess, then.”

Shane: Once the car has been Jacked Up, I’d finish the job of unscrewing the wheel nuts with my hands. Shouldn’t take too long, since I started that job earlier. Then, I’d remove them completely. With the wheel nuts out of the way, I can remove the flat tyre and set it on its side carefully to ensure it doesn’t roll away.

Host: And then I would pick up the spare tyre and hand it to you.

Shane: Thank you, but I wouldn’t allow that. I don’t want you to get injured on my watch. No, I would pick up the spare. When doing so, I would bend my knees and keep my back straight to avoid injury. Then, I would mount the spare on your lug bolts, gently pushing until the lug bolts show through the rim. Then, I pick up the wheel nuts I removed earlier, put them on the lug bolts and tighten them with my hands by turning them clockwise.

Host: So, like with a lot of things, it’s Lefty Loosey and Righty Tighty.

Shane: That’s right.

Host: And what do you do now?

Shane: Now it’s time to lower the vehicle using the jack until the spares are on the ground. Then, I pick up my cross-wrench, since it gives me more torque than a single-handled wrench, and I use it to turn the wheel nuts clockwise with all my might so that they’re as tight as they can be. Then, I push down on the wheel brace and lower the vehicle completely. Once all of the car’s weight is on the spare, I remove the jack slowly. Then, just for good measure, I would tighten all the wheel nuts with my cross-wrench again.

Host: “Ah, looks like you’re all done. Good timing, since I just checkmated my opponent.”

Shane: Hang on, I’m not done just yet. I have to put the hubcap back on. I’ll put the hubcap on, in the same way, I pulled it off. Then, I’ll put my wheel brace, wheel wedges and jack back in my car and put your punctured tyre in yours. Okay, now we’re done.

(The host’s phone goes off for the third time. Shane drives off to another suburb in Sydney to change someone’s flat tyre and then comes back again.)

Host: Welcome back, Shane. Okay, so the roleplay’s over, but our viewers still need to know: what do they do once you have changed their tyre?

Shane: You need to take your flat to a technician. Remember, unless your spare is identical to the tyre it’s replacing, it’s only going to be a temporary fix. When you’re on your way to the technician, drive carefully. Keep your speed below 80 kilometres per hour, since spares aren’t designed for long distances or high speeds. Otherwise, your spare’s going to fail and you’ll need to call 24/7 again.

Host: And what happens when our customer gets to the tyre shop?

Shane: At the tyre shop, a professional will figure out if the flat should be replaced or repaired. And then it will be replaced or repaired.

Host: Brilliant. Now, what is your answer to a viewer at home who’s thinking, “Changing a tyre doesn’t sound too hard. Why call 24/7 when I could do it all myself?”

Shane: Look, I recommend changing your tyre if you know what you’re doing. And, frankly, most people don’t know what they’re doing. Why risk hurting yourself – or even dying – when you can call a trained professional like me who takes your safety very seriously? There’s a reason I get paid to do this and you don’t.

Host: Good point, Shane. But now viewers might be wondering why you just spent a lot of time telling them how to change their tyre if you don’t want them to do it themselves.

Shane: Because I’m trying to show them how hard it is to do it themselves. The ultimate goal here is to convince the viewers to let 24/7 handle it.

Host: So, this whole interview is just an elaborate scheme to generate more business 24/7. That’s good to know. How would you describe your relationship with 24/7?

Shane: You guys treat me well. You give me a lot of jobs, which I’m thankful for. You’re loyal to me so I’m loyal to you.

Host: Unfortunately, we are out of time. I’d like to thank Shane for doing three call-outs and an interview for us tonight. And thanks to you, the viewer, for tuning in. Now it’s time to take some calls. The number is 1800 008 616 and the lines are open 24/7!

About a month ago, on a Saturday morning, I packed my top-notch espresso machine in my brand-new Volkswagen and off I went. After about three hours of driving northeast, I pulled into a cafe in Beechworth. (You see, I like to see how I measure up against my competitors. Their coffee was rubbish, by the way.) I got back in my VW and tried to start it and…nothing. The car was turning over, but it wouldn’t start. Uh oh. I was supposed to spend the weekend with my folks and now I’m stuck in a town with bad coffee! What a nightmare. I was about to call my mum to have a whinge when I suddenly saw that 24/7 Roadservices Australia key tag out of the corner of my eye. Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord!

I called up 24/7 straight away and asked for help. The folks at 24/7 are up in Newcastle, you see, and they’re a nice bunch. The lovely woman speaking to me said that because I got a five-star membership, she can get me towed to my parents’ place free of charge. Sick! About five minutes later, I got a call from 24/7 saying that a tow truck would l be there in 50 minutes. “Noice,” I thought. While I waited, I looked for a repairer in Albury. Then, right on time, the tow truck showed up and they loaded my car. Then, I hopped in the truck with the driver and we had a lively tennis debate while crossing the Murray. (He thought Nadal was better than Federer, which is incorrect.)

Once the car was unloaded safely at my parents’ house in Albury, I thanked the driver and got out. When I told Dad my car broke down, he shrugged and said, “Get over it,” in his typically blunt way. That’s my dad for ya. Anyway, I spent the weekend making coffee for my parents with my espresso machine, while Dad sat on the couch and criticized my life choices. On Monday morning, I called up my friends 24/7 again and requested a tow to an Albury workshop. This was, again, free of charge. While I waited for the truck, I called up my boss in Melbourne and told her I can’t make awesome coffees today because my car’s broken. The tow truck arrived right on time again and took me to the workshop.

After two hours of diagnosing my Volkswagen, the mechanic said my ECU needs to be replaced with a brand new one, which is gonna take four days to arrive from overseas. Immediately, I hired a car from Budget for four days at $90 per day and used it to get to and from work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Friday, the repairer called me on my lunch break and said the ECU’s been replaced, so I had Mum pick the car up and take it back to hers. Then, on Friday night, I went back to Albury to pick the car up, dropped off the rental car and made it home to Melbourne by lunchtime on Saturday. My Volkswagen was back in my garage and my warranty company paid for the repair! Not to mention, I sent my car hire invoice to admin@247roadservices.com.au and got my $360 back very quickly! I only lost one day of work from all this and I didn’t have to pay a single cent, so 24/7 turned what could have been a disaster into a minor inconvenience.

I dunno about you, but I’m a scared person who wants to feel safe. So, for those of you planning a road trip, I’ll share a few safety tips I picked up from my trip to Albury. First of all, get a 24/7 membership right now! I’m telling you, man. They’re the best. They don’t just pay for tows and rental cars. If your car breaks down hundreds of miles away from your house as mine did, and if you got a five-star membership as I do, you can spend $700 at a hotel and 24/7 will give it all back if the repair takes more than two days. If you have an accident, not only could they pay for all your accommodation fees, they might be able to cover your ambulance fees as well.

Don’t drive a car that ain’t roadworthy. Get it serviced and check your tyre pressure. And please remember to follow basic safety rules on the road when driving. Keep your seatbelt on at all times. Stay away from flooded roads or areas with a lot of bushes on hot days. Make sure your car isn’t too close to the car in front, and don’t overtake them if there’s a car coming, or the line between both lanes ain’t dashed. Turn off your high beam around other cars, or they might crash into your car and kill you. Oh, and watch out for those bloody kangaroos, or they’ll jump out in front of your car at 4 AM and become actual bloody kangaroos.

Do your homework. Using GPS technology, find out in advance where all the fuel stations and dangerous roads are. If you do run out of fuel, call 24/7. At each fuel station, you stop at, make sure you clean your hands, avoid viruses in bathrooms and stock up on food and drinks. You mustn’t forget to pack a first-aid kit since you can get sick or injured out there. You can also be the victim of a crime, so listen to your gut and stay alert.

Flat Tyre 

Another common problem that you can resolve on your own without the need for expert assistance is a flat tyre.

The Causes of the Fuel Price Hike

Fuel prices are one of the most common causes of the economic crisis in the last century. It can be caused by many factors such as oil prices, government policies, production costs, and others. Global supply and demand determine the fuel price. Therefore, a rise in fuel prices adversely affects individuals, businesses, and the economy. Let us see its impact on each category:

Impact on Individuals

Rising fuel prices severely impact the monthly household budget. As a result, people are unlikely to drive to the location to make purchases. In addition, a higher fuel price means extra cost for transporting a commodity.

The transportation charges on every commodity raise the price of essential goods. In addition, most of the products we use today contain petroleum derivatives. These petroleum derivatives are prevalent in a wide range of industries.

Impact on Businesses

An increase in fuel prices can affect businesses of all sizes. Fuel prices can increase costs and decrease efficiency for companies that rely heavily on transportation to get them to and from their locations.

Apart from individuals, businesses experience areas where they will encounter challenges; these include:

1. Supply and Overhead Costs: When a company has vendors and suppliers who must regularly transport goods from and into its premises for smooth daily operations, it will have to spend a good amount on its operations. Therefore, the transportation costs limit their income opportunities.

2. Jobs: When other counteractive measures don’t yield good results, companies will begin to cut down on staffing as layoffs and reduced work hours.

3. Pricing: When businesses are highly pressurized, even after taking several initiatives, they will pass on the burden to the consumers, costing them more.

Additionally, for businesses with a large number of employees who commute to work, an increase in fuel prices can lead to higher employee costs and reduced productivity.

How will Fuel Price Hike Affect the Entire Economy?

When individuals and businesses experience a financial setback, it reflects on the economy. For example, a rise in fuel price can increase the cost of goods manufactured overseas. As a result, the cost of many majorly used products goes up, resulting in inflation.

Inflation refers to the reduced ability of a unit of currency to purchase only fewer goods and services. In the long run, this situation curtails economic growth. In addition, a sluggish economy decreases the selling ability of businesses.

Further, this forces them to re-evaluate their hiring plan, which means fewer job opportunities. Therefore, if the respective governments don’t intervene at the right time, it can lead to economic turmoil.

What is the Reason for the Fuel Price Hike?

Although demand for fuel is a cause for the price hike, some scenarios altered the global supply-demand pattern for fuel prices. These variations impacted global fuel consumption, which led to the actual reasons for the fuel price hike.

As we have seen the enormous impact of rising fuel prices, let us now discover the reason for the fuel price hike: 

1. Post-pandemic demand for fuel

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden drop in demand for oil, reducing its supply. However, the oil demand peaked during the post-pandemic phase, whereas the supply was still not meeting the pre-covid levels. These situations have altered the supply and demand pattern of fuel prices.

Due to this flickering pattern, the rising demand and the fuel supply don’t match, leading to a hike in the fuel price.

2. Cuts to Oil Production

OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and other oil-producing countries had curtailed oil production, citing the pandemic. However, they could not ramp up oil production to the global economy’s recovery speed.

Therefore, the slower ramping up of oil production has contributed to the rising fuel prices.

3. Russia-Ukraine War

When the fuel prices were steadily rising, Russia’s plan to go to war with Ukraine aggravated the spike in oil and gas prices in just a few weeks.

This is because Russia is one of the significant oil-producing countries globally.

4. US Sanctions on Russia impact the global market

Despite Russia’s war in Ukraine, the US has issued some sanctions on Russia, aiming to block its primary revenue from oil and gas imports. This move has curtailed Russia’s ability to export oil to the global market. Consequently, the market reacts with a rising price.

History of Global Transportation

The discovery of fossil fuels powered the industrial revolution to tap into fuel resources like coal, oil, and natural gas. Steam and electrical engines powered the global transportation system with these energy reserves. However, this vehicle consumes less fuel, less than 5% of the world’s energy reserve fuel.

As of today, global transportation thrives, facilitating the movement of people and goods. According to the Energy Information Administration, vehicles consume 25 per cent of the world’s energy reserve.

Motor gasoline and diesel dominate energy consumption. While motor gasoline is primarily used to move people, diesel fuel helps transport goods. In addition, petroleum products account for the largest share of transportation energy.

For the past few years, rising fuel prices have been a cause of concern universally. Although governments are trying to deal with it, their efforts have not been fruitful.

What Alternatives are Available?

Transitioning to alternative fuels is one way to combat price hikes today…

The government and authorities can take advantage of this opportunity to drive people towards a cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable fuel option.

Here are some steps to efficiently ease your life amidst the rising prices:

Using Public Transport System for Travelling

Accessing public transport during these unprecedented times is the best option. However, governments have to motivate people to use public transport,

Here are some ways to encourage the public:

1. Governments can issue incentives in free or discounted bus, rail, or public transportation passes.
2. Incorporate some new gadgets such as headgear, internet, or music in each seat to attract the paying public.
3. Students can be encouraged to adapt to active travel options such as walking and bicycling.

Using Electric Vehicle for Travelling

Electric cars are becoming a more viable option when it comes to alternative fuel energy. Rechargeable electric car batteries are an excellent replacement to combat fuel consumption.

In addition, electric vehicles have the following benefits over gas-powered vehicles:

1. The running costs of electric vehicles are five times less expensive than gas-powered vehicles.
2. Covering a mile with electric vehicles is two to three times less expensive.
3. Electric vehicles are well-suited for highway driving.
4. They allow drivers for quick acceleration, avoiding risky driving situations.
5. If the durability of electric car batteries worsens, their cells can be serviced and replaced.

These batteries consist of minerals and elements like cobalt, lithium, and nickel, which can be used to produce new batteries.

The fuel consumption in electric car batteries is energy that is rechargeable or can be produced using solar panels, meaning it runs on renewable energy…

Using Solar Energy to Generate Fuel

Recent developments in solar energy have allowed us to combine sunlight and water to produce hydrogen, solar fuel. Solar fuel is sustainable, doesn’t emit carbon dioxide, and is storable and versatile.

A well-known example of solar fuel is the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell car. These cars are powered by hydrogen, stored in a fuel cell, and later used to extract electricity. These cars can travel up to 400 miles between fill-ups due to hydrogen tanks.

However, the high cost and the need for fueling stations curtails its benefits.

Possible Solutions to This Problem

Despite the challenges, there are numerous ways to save fuel. For example, you can always drive shorter distances or focus on increasing fuel efficiency. For this purpose, plan your trips using a GPS route planner strategically.

This will help you find highways or routes with minimum stoppage, less traffic, and fewer diversions. This way, you can maintain a steady speed and achieve fuel efficiency.

In addition, you can always use a fuel consumption calculator to estimate your trip’s fuel cost based on fuel efficiency, distance, and gas price.

Tips for Saving Fuel in Petrol & Diesel Vehicles

Apart from planning your route trips, you have to focus on maintaining your vehicle to achieve maximum efficiency. Here are some tips to follow:

1. Turning off a car with its engine boosts fuel efficiency by 4 per cent, depending on the nature of the repair.
2. When you fix a faulty oxygen sensor, you will notice a 40 per cent increase in fuel efficiency.
3. Avoid excessive idling and utilize cruise control and overdrive gears to use the engine efficiently.
4. Check your Tyres for proper inflation at least twice a week to reduce fuel consumption by 3 per cent.
5. Oil your motor as per the manufacturer’s recommendation to reduce fuel consumption by 1 per cent to 2 per cent.
6. Keep your acceleration at a constant rate and try to drive slowly.
7. Some credit cards tie up with certain gas stations or petrol pumps and offer discounts. You can avail yourself of this offer to save on fuel spending.

Petrol vs Diesel: Which fuel Consumes more?

Petrol and diesel are used in cars and trucks. However, petrol consumes more fuel than diesel. Petrol engines work by using air as a source of energy, while diesel engines work only by using oil.

Specific fuel Consumption of Diesel Engines and Petrol Engines:

Diesel engines typically use less fuel than petrol engines. However, because diesel engines produce more heat, they require more fuel to maintain a given speed and distance. You can adjust your driving habits to conserve fuel to compensate for this. Or else the emergency roadside assistance plans will be helpful for you to overcome that kind of situation.
For example, you can drive at lower speeds and take shorter trips. You can also use the cruise control to save even more fuel when possible.

Petrol engines are less efficient than diesel engines when converting energy into motion. This means that a given quantity of petrol will consume more energy than a given quantity of diesel for shorter distances.

Conclusion

The pandemic-induced low gasoline supply and a war-induced high demand for crude oil have caused fuel price hikes. In addition, Russia’s sanction due to its invasion of Ukraine has worsened the scenario.

Governments of several countries are taking various measures to tackle fuel price hikes. Still, this scenario is expected to remain for quite some time. Hence, adapting to alternative fuels and strategic fuel consumption are the only options to tide over this rising wave until it subsides.

However, this situation calls for the need to completely adapt to a sustainable and renewable alternative energy source in the long run. In that sense, hydrogen fuel cars are an excellent option.

Hence, we have to work on building the required infrastructure and cost reduction to avail the best use of this technology.
