Personally, I refuse to play the governments silly games with fuel duty. If
everyone converted to LPG tomorrow, the government wouldn't hesitate to put
duty on LPG up overnight. I noticed today that diesel at the local garage is
now more expensive than unleaded. Did it not used to be considerably cheaper?
Surely this isn't because of the increasing use of diesels in the UK and the
corresponding drop in revenue?
