WHICH DISCO?
Spooky:
Hmmm ... a V8 ... yes, that's a possibility! :twisted:
It'll be quieter (as has been said) and somewhat smarter off the mark, but will use more fuel than a Jumbo Jet taking off!!
LPG does offset this (for now), but how long will it be before they tax that through the roof? It was originally taxed less, as it was (and still is) a 'clean' fuel. However, the current train of thought (no doubt 'helped along' by the car manufacturers' lobbying) is that the latest design petrol engines run cleaner on petrol ...
This is all very well if you can afford the latest design of EuroBox, but what about us folks who live in the real world? :roll:
I'm willing to bet that the Government will increase the Duty on LPG shortly, as it's not 'Politically Correct' to tax petrol or diesel any more at the moment, and the Budget needs the Dosh to support all the Spongers wading onto our shores.

As I understand it, it has been stated that tax on LPG will rise no more than 1p per year for the next 2 years.

It's after that that concerns me ... :?
davidlandy:
the gov have got to give at least 2-3 years notice of an intended rise on the duty on lpg.
depending on when the budget falls this could mean an extra year?!

Just remember how many diesels you saw with their bonnets up running or running rough after last weekends wading, NONE, now how many V8's got through with not a splutter? I think the same number comes to mind.....
Check the other threads and you will see some of the hybrids are changing over to diesel (or rather have changed) for better running.
:wink:
