Sniff Petrol is an inactive online motoring satire magazine[1] first published in 2001[2] on a weekly schedule.
Both fiction and non-fiction articles parody the styles of presentation and language used in various motoring fields.
[21] The Sniff Petrol Twitter account is used chiefly to give real-time commentary on Formula 1 races and brief comment on motoring news as well as reports of mini-cab journeys undertaken by the author.
[24][25] Porter credits the site (and Jeremy Clarkson's enjoyment of it) as being instrumental in his getting the job of script editor on Top Gear and later The Grand Tour.
[29] In 2006, a series of Sniff Petrol spoof MG Rover advertisements were turned into a charity calendar.
