Reply to: How much...

I agree (perhaps not as strongly as so very wrong), but more in the sense that it does seem counter-intuitive to use land not to produce food for people but fuel for cars instead.

I know what a starving person in a 3rd world country would value more.

Yeah, so do I.

It starts with "The absence of a tribal, uneducated, corrupt and oppresive government!"

Also, water is more important than food in the medium to long term.

It's not productive for civilisation to keep bailing out 3rd world countries the way we are. Longer term structured planning needs to be conducted and those plans need to be put into place.

As for use of bio-fuel, I'm all for it, it would certainly cut down on carbon emissions!

Churchill - In "Yes I currently have 3 cars but there is a reason why God invented the V8 Engine!" mode!

There's something so very wrong about growing grain for making petrol/diesel instead of using it to help feed people........

Closer to God = further from refinery

Well you'd think wouldn't you but the refinery at Hull is down the road and its still more bloody expensive than London, what a crock.

T'was 120.9 in Kingston on Friday, Just filled up back up back in Gods own country and its 126.9! Obviously I'm just paying a premium for living in Yorkshire with the almighty

I think we should liquidise babies and run our cars on that. And use the tears of the mothers as windscreen washer fluid.

I'm seriously considering buying an old non-turbo diesel without a common rail and finding a decent supplier of vegetable oil...

Have you seen this site:

www.etruk.com

They make ready made converters.

[DimPrawn]

Good news

Should help make the SL65 AMG a little more affordable. It does 11 MPG if driven carefully around town.

But then it does have a twin-turbo 6.0 litre V12 developing over 600bhp.

[DaveB]

Anywhere from 119.9 to 129.9 around here.

Looking at going for an LPG conversion for the next car.
