Our neighbours got a hybrid 4x4 which he regularly trails a cable out of the garage to charge it up, but can use petrol when the battery is flat.

So best of both worlds, or argue worst of both!

Like the defib idea  It's a cracking point though, you see chargers now at the motorway services. Do drivers have to plug in for 12 hours, or is a 30 minute pitstop enough time to give you any meaningful charge?

Give me a electric car that can do 400 miles between charges, and doesn't look like something off Logans Run, and I'll buy one.

Any electric car owners?

Also just seen in the News that Ford are investing $4.5billion in their electric car programme.

On their list of claims they want 40% of their cars to have an electric version.

Top of the list is the Focus which can take 80% of its charge in 30 minutes and give it an estimated range of a massive 100 miles. They don't get it do they

Yes itslike the power companies,very slow to put it down quick to put up.

They will start charging for electric cars soon, as soon as something becomes worth taxing they will.
 
Look what happened to the pubs, ruined due to massive tax rises, all the extra revenue they made on extra VAT on petrol they keep that quiet,
 
i give up

Hello

 

As usual so much hype about the £1 per litre, can someone tell me where. in london i have not seen it go below £1.04 

As per norm media hype, it takes companys months to pass on savings,when they do it will be straight down again as soon as the government are losing VAT

 

On another quick note how does a company get featured business on your site. Im not complaining, is there any criteria?

 

Keep up the good work,good luck everyone I hope everyone had a good  small buisness day, Roll on the january sales lets see if its £1 a litre for a day by then?

Thanks,

Just reading in the news that there is a chance petrol could break under the £1 mark over the next 2 weeks or so.

Apparently the average price is around £1.07 but as there has been a dip in the price of crude oil this could be passed on to the consumer within the next 2 weeks.

With your bigger supermarkets already dropping below this it wont be long surely until we see 99p a litre again?”

Well done you win  It went under £1 but I hear it will be short lived.
