Re: Biggest waste of effort....

The money would be better spent funding a shift to biodiesel or gasohol for commercial vehicles, rather than this.

And if this don't work, Alistair darling will waste more money by wanting automatic gearboxes fitting in all the white vans.

He is having a laugh.

Re: Biggest waste of effort....

Surely no-one is suggesting the government is obsessed with headline grabbing, short term measures which are doomed to failure and will be quietly forgotten in a few months time.

Re: Biggest waste of effort....

this project utter rubbish - the money would be better spent on bio yogurt conversions as suggested above. the drivers would have more efficient systems due to intake of good bacteria.

I'd take a biofuel car - if you could fill it. The new SAAB bio fuel is 150 bhp on petrol and 180 bhp on bio. Thats the kind of perfomance increase I like.

Why don't the government spend £1,000 coverting them to run on bio-diesel or old cooking oil.
