Pushing £2/litre here and I am still waiting for air quality to improve. Maybe £5/litre is necessary.

Higher prices for most with reductions on red diesel could possibly be a good compromise.

You don't need a fucking SUV to go to the corner shop 500m away.

    the corner shop 500m away

    A lot of Americans live 30 minutes from the nearest real grocery store.

    But yeah they still don't need a lifted truck to go there. It's not like the cashiers at the Wal Mart Super Center are going to be impressed by their Carolina Squat lifted white pavement princess, but that's what they insist on driving.

    30 minutes is cycling to another town here. Or if you want to drive during rush hour, it gets you half way down the main road.

    That's how the US is in certain metro areas. In the boonies there are hundreds of miles of rural back roads where people drive 60mph during rush hour.
