Load of nonsense

Next they'll be telling us that the stinking buses belching out clouds of stinking black smoke, as they trundle about with 2 passengers on board are more enviromentally friendly than a good modern petrol engine.

Lib dems making a shallow effort to steal the 'green' vote from the green party.

Thank god its only the Lib Dems and not a party which has even a remote prospect of electoral success. Its great to be a Lib Dem, you can promise any attractive sounding nonsense you like with absolutely no risk that you will have to own up to not being able to do it.

Not that it really matters, by then only vintage motor enthusiasts with cars like ours will be running on Petrol anyway. The rest will be in Tesla type electric cars which leave current petrol / diesel ones for dead on performance, economy etc etc. Think what we were driving 50 years ago.

Just my 2p and sorry to any Lib Dems.

Sod ethanol, get down your local drycleaner and get a massive drum of methanol, you can pump as much of that sh*t in without ever worrying about overfueling and enjoy the flames that burn invisibly.
