Drivable cars and an electric car on Mill Road

You can now drive real cars. On Mill Road in Toint Town, west of the dead end, a small red petrol hatchback and a white electric hatchback are parked. Type board hatchback (or get in ev), start it, then drive west or drive east. While you sit at the wheel you can also type drive to pump or drive to charging post, honk and disembark. Anyone else who boards rides along as a passenger.
The engine really burns the petrol in its tank and the motor really draws its battery, so a car with an empty tank or a flat battery won't go. You hear the door, the starter, the engine or motor rising with speed, the tyres, the brakes and the horn, muffled while you are inside.
To refuel, drive to the pump and type refuel hatchback; it charges you per litre. To charge the electric car, drive it to the charging post, type charge ev, and unplug ev from charging post before you leave, since a plugged-in car won't drive off. Wait a few seconds after starting the electric car before you drive.
Builders: @create $car now gives a working petrol car whose engine, tank and axle install themselves (the old 2006 room-car is gone). Climbing to a higher room now costs fuel on ordinary exits.
