It's hard to say.

A laser in water travels at approx 140000 miles per sec. (I'm excluding salt content and impurities).

Flipper is faster then lightning
which is upper end 87000 miles per sec.

Discounting any major currents giving flipper an advantage

140000 - 87000 = 53000

So the question is really whether Flipper is 53000 miles per second faster then lightning?

Actually falling and missing the ground is flying as any HHGTTG fan would know.

Actually Gasoline (Petrol) in Ireland is not Dyed.

Your thinking of untaxed Diesel which is dyed green.

It used to be dyed red but certain people developed a proceedure to remove the red dye therefore being able to use it on public roads.

No Problem,
