Sniff Petrol is an inactive online motoring satire magazine^[1] first published in 2001^[2] on a weekly schedule.^[3] Due to other commitments of the writers, the schedule was reduced^[4]—first to a monthly schedule, then to a regularly updated blog format. It received over ten thousand hits a day.^[5]

Sniff Petrol articles comment on motoring and motorsport events (especially Formula One). Both fiction and non-fiction articles parody the styles of presentation and language used in various motoring fields. Parodies include motor manufacturer press releases, motoring magazine reviews, etc. The website ceased activity in 2022, but articles are still available online. TopGear now has a dedicated Satire section on its website.
