Fleabag Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Do you think that the government new what was going to happen in advance with the fuel crisis and perhaps in the 90es persuaded us all to buy diesel cars instead of petrol, so like any forward thinking business they saw this as a money making exercise that is now paying dividends for them. what you think.

tulkyuk Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Oh yes - i have said this to a few friends in the past It seemed at one time thats all the wanted us to buy ( the green route yet again) - then as soon as enough cars/4x4's people carriers were sold the price of diesel rocketed and is now more per litre than friggin petrol.

Axe Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I can't imagine they're that intelligent I do however feel very cheated. But lets not forget that this is not just affecting us, it is a global problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden22 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 bio fuel people. its the way forward.90p a litre, u cant go wrong. Biofuel might seem like an attractive answer, but it's causing havoc globally. Nuclear power will save us, unless they get the fusion thing off the ground sooner than expected.

Maiden22 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Personally I'm delighted at the high price of deisel - it's the only thing that will save us from global warming. That and switching to funeral parlour light bulbs, and not leaving that little red light on your telly on overnight. If you really want to save the planet, ride a bike to work. Don't worry about your gear - your chauffer can bring that in the car. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 As many of you know, one of my companies activities is conversion to dual fuel Autogas. Naturally my Rangie is gassed! I friend of mine recently changed from a gassed Disco to a diesel Merc 320, as he claimed that the gas was not cost effective. Dispite my best efforts to disuade him from making the error, he went ahead. That was about 5 months ago. As part of my recovery programme I have accompanied him on his business trip around Manchester today. I was astounded at the pump prices of fuel since my accident. My mate told me off for not knocking the sence into him. To make mattters worse, his old Disco fuels up at our pump, which is next doot to his business. Oh dear! webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
