This problem has been discussed at length before and the problem is still the same. Petrol and diesel are both very cheap fuels but the government take half of what you pay for a gallon. There lies the problem, and do not be fooled into using liquid gas because as soon as enough people are using it, the price will rocket. When enough people have electric cars the price oc electricity will go through the roof. Look at previous threads and see how others have pointed out that we were encouraged to go diesel because it was more efficient and cheaper. This may seem off thread but this government has to pay it's bills the same as you and I. The problem is Britain is spending excessive amounts on spin doctors stupid ideas, immigration and assylum, hospitals and schools along with unknown amounts on druggies, alchies and the workshy. They have to recoup this money from somewhere. The latest is when a driver is convicted of any minor mis-demeanor, a surcharge of £15 is to paid along with a fine. this is just another tax because of a crowd of incompetents running the country. The only way we will ever get the price of fuel to an acceptable level is to get a government to spend less.
I remember in the late fifties when I had my first m/cycle, petrol was on tokens and cost 2/6 a gallon, 2/6 was equivalent to the present 12 1/2 p.
