I paid extra for my diesel and thought it was more economical in the long run
Nope
Soon Road tolls from satellites
We have Congestion Charges in London but still congestion
Now the NightMayor is extending it west
Road tax duty on emmissions are much higher now for nearly all vechiles now not just Chelsea tractors
Ever feel turned over

The whole lot stinks mate!! Green issues are another way of controlling the masses to suit them when needed! If we stuck to speed limits drove 1.0 lit diesel engined cars, it would cause financial chaos to the economy!! We are all WELL TURNED OVER!! and on a daily basis to. It's just getting WORSE!!

There's a simple explanation, it's called supply and demand. As diesel has become more and more popular, the refineries have struggled to keep up with the extra demand. In time new refineries will be built, and the price will probably come back down relative to petrol. There's no big conspiracy, it's just business.
And if you can achieve the same economy by thrashing an Audi as you can by driving a Rover like a granny, isn't that pretty good? I know which I'd rather be driving...

They are turning just getting around the country into a complete nightmare alright.
Taxing mobility just seems to be strangling the economy and an excuse to continue their monitoring of our every movement -
Congestion tolls seem to be a cunning way of increasing surveillance and fleecing the motorist.

Well i have to say its your own fault.
You all jumped on the band wagon did,nt you.
The goverment are'nt stupid.
The question is are you.
I had converstion with a guy who paid 20 grand for audi diesel.
He would'nt shut up about it.Then the gearbox went.
Does about 40 to the gallon.So does my mums rover 45 petrol.
I said to him did you thrash it.Answer yes.
My point.
If you want an economical car buy a bus ticket.

Thats right. All this bleating about the environment is a huge con to get more money out of all of us. Not saying its not an important issue - but the self serving pigs at Westminster see it as a green light to get even more money for doing nothing.
