Gen Z running out of fuel in their cars because they’re scared to fill them up

In a survey, about two -thirds of young people are worried about refueling their cars.

Online automobile retailer Cazoo found that 62 percent of children aged 18-24 years suffer from what researchers say “fuel supply”, Times reported.

This was almost twice as much as 39 percent of a total of 2,000 participants who reported concern at the gas station.

Apart from concerns about the high fuel prices, young drivers reported a fear of parking closely close to the pump, defining the right fuel type or running the gasoline nozzle competently. Researchers said the root of concerns about the fear of making mistakes in the public opinion.

The participants of the generation of Z also expressed concerns about hygiene and fear of tail.

Half of those with concerns admitted that their tanks allowed them to work “dangerous” low to go to the gas station. One quarter, after hesitation to refuel supply, said they were exhausted on the road.

More than two -thirds of the participants said that they wanted a partner to fill them to avoid feeling worried about a family member or friend. This figure was slightly more than half for all participants participating in the survey.

High anxiety levels report that the number of 17 to 20 -year -old children with a full driver’s license is halfway compared to the late 1980s.

According to the figures published by the Ministry of Transport, in 1989, almost one of the two young adults, one of the four people between the ages of 17 and 20 now has a complete driver’s license.

Harry Waring, a car expert in Jazzoo, said: “Filling may seem a simple, daily task for many. However, our research shows that it is a real source of concern for millions of drivers, especially for younger or less experienced.

“This is not only about increasing fuel cost, but also about confidence, social pressure and fear of making mistakes in a public environment.”

Cazoo had previously found that many young drivers were worried about parking.

A previous survey found that two-thirds of the drivers between the ages of 18-28 asked parents, friends or partners to park for them.

However, almost every participant said they were worried about parallel or reverse parking, contrary to inequality in the questionnaire -related figures for gas stations. This figure was 96 percent.
