Aussie motorists are being urged to go “full Flintstone” in an effort to preserve precious fuel during the Iran conflict.
According to the Government ad, motorists should take an angle driver to the floor of their car to cut out a square that they can easily fit their legs through.
Once the modification is made, motorists are then urged to use their legs to propel their vehicle forward in the style of everyone’s favourite caveman, Fred.
While the method is a little archaic, it does use fark all fuel and that’s exactly what Aussies need to be thinking about right now. A Government spokesperson told The Times,
“It’s just a practical measure. Much like pumping up your tyres, removing excessive weight and taking public transport. We understand the public doesn’t want to hear these sorts of solutions but we have to be pragmatic”
Indeed, while the public would rather hear about fuel supply being secured it can’t be denied that some personal accountability must also be explored.
Some critics say the Flintstone mods are too burdensome on your average Aussie. With one telling The Times,
“Can we not look into maybe minimum security inmates pushing us around or something first? We understand that changes have to be made but is your average motorist even competent with making structural modifications to their cars? You have to ask questions”
Well, that is true. More to come.
