Yes, we are putting our wee weight behind this petition to the UK government. David Webber’s position is the following:

“LPG and other green (fuel) powered vehicles emit significantly lower emissions when compared with a petrol powered vehicle. The current Road Tax system allows for newer green cars to be Road Tax exempt but older LPG converted cars are not included in this scheme. If the government really is interested in decreasing emisions from transportation then it should encourage the public to spend the money on the LPG conversion for thier car and as a reward make them Road Tax exempt.”

Looks like the folks at Tesco are embracing the biodiesel band wagon. It is good to see that they are actually planning to run high blends of biodiesel in their own vehicles. I have always felt that 5% blends were just a little more than a drop in the ocean. You can read an article (by the BBC) on Tesco’s plans here.
