Folks,
An interesting item in the news today. The UK Government are considering
abolishing road tax and fuel taxes, and replacing them with road charging by
the mile, implemented by GPS.
So, within 10 years, we could see mogas prices drop to around 20p a litre at
current prices. Just in time for G-EZZA=92s first flight, I reckon! :-)
With any luck they=92ll not cotton on to us fliers using it in the air =96
otherwise I can see them slapping us with an airspace charge :-(
Cheers,
Jeremy
PS I=92ve experimentally changed my code page on this posting =96 so let=92s see
if Matt=92s server changes all the punctuation marks to 9764476!
