*Moved - Alternative (green) Engines

[Jervaulx]

I agree. Much is made of how smooth and quiet BMW diesels are for example,
but that's only because of heavy soundproofing on the car. If you are stood
at the roadside and the engine is started, then the old Massey Ferguson
sound appears. Not very sophisticated to hear a clack clack clackerty clack
instead of the classy smooth petrol V8. Maybe even a hybrid Bristol could
be a possibility one day and may be insisted upon if the mafia state known
as the EU get their own way.

I gather it appears diesel will have higher tax than for petrol on passenger
cars, because diesel gives out poisions that are causing asthma in the young
and old to a degree the government are very concerned. They want to take
the economic benefit away from diesel for passeneger cars and get the
population driving petrol hybrids. The funny thing is, the 2 places with
the worst air pollution are at number 1, Marylebone bus station in London
and at number 2, the bus station in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester.
Sounds like it's public transport they should address first.
