Was the petrol price rigged too?

Yes I know filters have got better but I still don't like the stuff.

What sysman is trying to say is that he much prefers to inhale smell of petrol when refueling his car - due to low economy of petrol he can do it more often than with diesel also.

Still it does change things, after all a lot of Diesel cars emit low emissions and therefore pay less in Road tax given that what they emit is hazardous to the health should they still benefit from paying less?

I wasn't worried about the CO, but the potentially nasty nitrocarbons.

But you are still alive so it was fine!

I made the mistake of buying a diesel back in the days before they got turbos and got quieter. Great fuel consumption but bloody noisy for long trips.

One town near me is trying out hydrogen cell powered buses, so I had to have a ride on one to see what it's like.

Much quieter than diesels, but once you start listening to them they don't half wheeze and fart a lot.
