What???Never, people in the UK are obviously very happy to pay 65% tax to the Government (in fact pay two lots of tax, VAT and Petrol Tax-which technically is ILLEGAL) that's why British people don't complain or do anything about it...in fact the Brits would be more than happy if petrol cost £3 a litre, but I won't be cause in 5 months I'm emigrating for good!

I honestly think that a major wave towards other alternatives is coming very quickly. There is way way to much tension in the world right now because of Oil. I think within 30 years major countries like the US, Britain and a few others will only use about 20-25% of the oil they use now and that will be mainly for major corporation that need it. Most personal vehicles by then will be run on something else.

Just wait, when the strangle hold on us from the oil companies is over and the tank is empty how much will we be taxed for the sun on a solar car, how much will water go up for the hydro car, will we be able to get a potato if all the fields are growing bio fuels?

As a child, at about the age of maybe seven in 1974, i really thought that by the time i was an adult, all vehicles here would be electric, but are they? Are they

That answer might want to decision by ability of the guy. For some it will be £a million:30. for others it will be two times that or ten circumstances that. It relies upon on the fee of the delivery -- and that is not any longer goign to be a similar for everybody.

When the government and big business cease to make such a profit out of it...so not anytime soon.
the other way is for people to all demand another type of fuel, but this would mean everyone working together to achieve change, and its just not going to happen.

Why quit as mother nature is recycling our leaves and plants into oil. If we use our fuel correctly we will never run out of petroleum.
