Sort of true, if you don't take into accout emissions made in the farming and manufacturing process. As far the Government is concerned though,
the car itself will be emitting an exhaust containing carbon dioxide and all that, even if it came out of the air.
That arguement is arguably at least partly true for all fossil fuels.

I paid 1.20 a litre for Shell Volumex yesterday (or whatever its called...)
67 English pounds to fill my Saab up
There are a lot of wealthy people getting wealthier, the world is over a barrel excuse the pun.
And of course you cannot get into the local car showrooms from all the big producers of cars, they have so many alternatives to carbon fuel vehicles
its unbelievable the choice.
Once every UK car is Eco friendly running on electricity, with convenient top up stations spread across every corner of the UK, then with all the
power stations we build in the UK, the electricity will be so so cheap wont it !!!!
Errrrrrr wait a minute, No it will not.
Or do I jump on the new National high speed rail link, oh dear its not coming to the North East, or on one of the many excellent forms of public
transport we have here.
Its all shat ...
I had week in Holland recently, do not think the Germans are the only efficient operators in Europe, the Dutch have thought about public transport,
and invested in it.
Just like the UK, errrrrr hang on ?
We are having our eyes ripped out !
Rant complete, thanks for listening

transport.

Holland -
Delft, Den Haag, Leiden, Haarlem, Amsterdam & return to Delft.

Spain
Barcelona to Girona - About an hour from memory = 8Euros. Modern train tables seats etc, even a really clever sign tells you in English & Espanol
time to the next station and its name !
Newcastle - Birmingham 180GBP return !
I did end up with cheaper options, which came in at about 90GBP.
The eyes continue to be ripped out !

Like I always say, if the government (local or national) wants people toget out of their cars they need to improve public transport. Which they
won't do 'cause it costs money. And when they DO, they cock it up... like all this talk of guided busways. Useless.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

The reason its cocked up is because...
The transport providers are in their hundreds, how many rail companies are there ? 10 maybe 20...
All profit driven, ie provide the oldest rolling stock on the cheapest lines, going to the most profitable places...
The rest of the UK can sling their hook.
They have a Metro system on Tyneside, been here 20 plus years...
Old tired and on existing rail lines from the 1950s...
So handy if you live near a station, lots of people on Tyneside do not.
There is no money to improve it beyond its current stations & lines.
That is shite !
Germans come along who run the the Berlin Metro, and the unions kick off becuase they are German !!! ehhhh ?
You mean the North east would get a modern transport system designed by Germans, and the dumbkopfs here oppose it....
This country as I say week in week out, is totally arse about face.
We can sit on a railway station seat and watch arseholes urinating, swearing in front of your mum, littering and just being totally anti social...
There is nobody in authority left in this country, its all been undermined by the Labour government.
Minority rules UK,
just kick said turd up arse on railway platform and see howlong it takes to get arrested.
If your a teacher/Nurse/Soldier/Social Worker/Cop/ Doctor then you could be sacked aswell.
And the turd would be compensated.
Great Britain ....

I am only talking about fuel at the moment,
I like the idea of boycotting the certain garages but with respect a few hundred Locosters isnt going to make the Sh-t them selves.
So what do you do?
Bookface campaign!
You know the cost of going to work has been so high on my agenda I'd vote for the "Ultimate Racist Party" if they reduced tax on
fuel. Stick it on cigs! (seeing as I've given up this week lol)

Don't put it on Cigs, what will do on our way to work when we can't afford petrol? Plus it would protect us from getting healthy.
