I remember the same in Sydney as well for petrol filling ... may parents would actually time it to fill vehicles .... luckily one car ended in odds and the other in evens.

We are lucky...lucky none of the whacky ideas I've seen in my lifetime have been listened to seriously. But it'll just be a matter of time...the green movement would still remember them...

* Banning cars older than five years from the road. This is usually brought up by car manufacturers every five to ten years. I think last time it was Mazda that suggested it, the time before it was Ford I think. Of course it's purely for "road safety", and not for forcing increased sales...

* Limiting vehicle use by placing restrictions on the number of kilometers a year you could drive. This was for "fuel savings".

* Banning engines over 2 liters (Many years ago it was "three liters"). Again for environmental reasons.

* Odds and evens, as the original post was about in China.

There have been others...equally as ****y.
