Good plan Monk, but that would make the world continue to use petrol and all of the toxic crap that is emitted from the exhausts of millions of cars. This year in the U.S. a study of vehicle buyers revealed that only 20 % of new purchases were cars, the rest, 80 % were trucks and SUV's. Wheres the mentality,,, I know the bigger the vehicle, the safer you are. But at a cost to the environment. I think high petrol prices are great. It's about time, and I hope it keeps going higher and higher. Hybrid vehicles are a first step, but no where near what needs to be done. Electric vehicles will be out in full force in the next 2 or 3 years. But the cost for most will be prohibitive. For every vehicle in the world to be replaced by an electric or hydrogen fuel cell or compact nuclear vehicle will take 100 years. I suggest we starve out the petrol companies by buying alternative vehicles as soon as possible. The SmartCar, now thats cute. Give me a tablespoon of diesel, so I can drive to Uncle Joe's. Once the big conglomerates realize we are not going to keep buying there gas guzzlers, they will invest millions into alternatives. Dependance is the problem. Yes, stop buying petrol. Buy a tablespoon to fill up or go electric or hydrogen. Or even better, nuclear, but once you fill up thats it,, where is the money market for them in that ? Joe > Electric vehicles will be out > in full force in the next 2 or 3 years. But the cost for most will be > prohibitive. I agree with what you say Joe. My son has a Prius car which is part electric and petrol driven - does over 60 miles to the gallon on a long journey. It did cost him £16,000 plus, but he qualified for a £1,000 refund from the government. I think they should double the road tax here for SUV's and all petrol-guzzling cars - make 'em pay!

Worst tank got just over 47, best tank got just over 54. It seats 5, 4 comfortably. It is snappy and agile. Performs better than my Ford Explorer. Rent one for a couple of days and see for yourself. It's also quiet. > I've driven a Prius for 7 months now. Averaging 52 mpg. Worst tank got > just over 47, best tank got just over 54. It seats 5, 4 comfortably. It is > snappy and agile.

If those are US gallons Ingenuous is quoting then Ben that equates to 62 mpg average, 56 worst, 65 best - in UK mpg. Not bad ! I have a V6 Rover and I reckon that is doing well when it gets 30.
