What frustrates me with any of these fuels is that there's simply no government incentive to make it happen. Petrol is taxed so highly that they rather like the revenue from squeezing the motorist so much so that if they said "right that's it, no more petrol, lets have something environmentally friendly!", they'd still have to tax it the same otherwise the UK economy would collapse. I just can't see any great momentum to switch, they'd rather have us all on buses and trains (so they make out) which works for those that live close to train stations and do a daily commute but just doesn't work for those that have variable journeys due to the extortionate ticket pricing. Anyway, that's a whole new rant! :) David.
