Interesting article in the Metro this morning stating that driving only costs slightly more than it did in the 70's. The figures behind that unbelievable truth showed that when you adjust for inflation, and take into account much better average MPG figures, driving an average of 12,000 miles worked out roughly the same.

Erm yeah... But there was an oil crisis in the 70s!!

Tell that to the hauliers. They are getting taxed to extinction.
