It's all shit. When the economy was on it's arse back in the day, the government insisted leaded fuel was bad, so we all sold them and bought unleaded vehicles, boosting the economy. Fast forward 10-15 years, All of a sudden unleaded was bad and we must save the planet by going diesel, thus everyone now buying diesel cars. And now what? All of a sudden diesel is bad so there's loads of incentives to buy electric / hybrid cars. What is going to happen when this bubble has burst? The government will still need to make their money somehow, so the cost of electricity and unleaded will soar, and I guess we will then be lead in to hydrogen power like sheep.

What is more important to the government? Not polluting an already fucked world, or making money? If you think this whole banning diesel shit is actually about saving the world then you need to think again imo....
