Looks like the "mean greenies" are getting their way and forcing us off the road. Hell, to be brutally honest I don't give a s**t what happens to the planet after I've gone. It won't last forever anyway. No I don't have kids and let those that have do the worrying.

98 grade is still 31p a litre over here.

In Qatar it's 20p and KSA it's cheaper than water.....

Hello

Don't think it's the mean greenies - they don't have any say. My local Green lot argue for cheap, plentiful biofuel taken from waste and recycling.

It's the Government ramping up the taxes on fuel, using the environment as the excuse because anyone complaining will look bad.
