fuel prices

[NoHachi]

So price alone has made you consider more environmentally friendly fuel sources (LPG has shorter carbon chains and thus produces less CO2)..thats ok.
In Holland we will start to approach the point where the taxes collected from fuel do not measure up against the fines from the EU..Have any of you ever considered that the 60% tax is there to make you pay the real price of your mobility?

Anyway..please don't get angry over my rantings here...I was once a petroll head just like you guys (still am). But studying the subject over a couple of years has made me realise one thing..there is no way that things can go on the way that they have been going the past years. The end of the oil reserves is starting to get near (also see the press statement from that American oil company recently..think about how far it has come, in order to have an oil company plead for more attention for alternative fuel sources!) and we are totally unprepared at the moment.
China and the rest of the develloping East will make sure that we'll go through the remaining bits at lightspeed. That is going to mean around 2 to 3 times the amount of people we have here in the "west" burning through masive amounts of fuel in devices that use 60's and 70's technology...its going to be interesting to see what that will do to the environment...compared to that we have been amateurs.

Blah blah blah...sorry to be a bore...
