Petrol duty to be frozen until September but clean fuel to be 35p a litre cheaper. New measures to tackle climate change include a sliding Road Tax scale for vehicles based on pollution emissions - cars with the lowest rate of emissions would pay no duty but the 1% of most polluting cars to pay £210.
What is clean fuel  I want myself some of that  I can resist everything except TEMPTATION

Bio fuels, but of course they won't be 35p cheaper at the pump because they are more expensive to make DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

We don`t have any of that around here  Bliar and Brown should make the farmers grow Oil Seed Rape and similar crops to produce this instead of paying them huge amounts of money to grow nothing (Set Aside)  I can resist everything except TEMPTATION

set aside is old news, it's now digging & planting bio diverse ponds & letting crops rot in the ground for wildlife - instead of growing food. Still most farmers are playing skipping through the daises at the moment for their subsidies, and waiting for the bio-fuel dash in a few years time.....   2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'.

It winds me up that they get money for doing nothing  I work for a large Steel Frame manufacturing company and if we can`t make it pay we don`t get any hand outs I can resist everything except TEMPTATION

Because it's ethanol based - which reduces the lubricating properties of the fuel and will cause oil seals, 'O' rings, fuel lines to perish, I also think that they wil not be Euro III compliant on bio diesel

so any motor that is sold in europe is not covered under its waranty due to bio fuels being mixed in the fuel over there? 5% i think and they are on about doing the same over here soon CRAG-uk.org
