So it sounds like most of would agree with the idea (that floated agains last week) of shifting the tax on fuel to a GPS-based system of road pricing.

Rural roads taxed at, I don't know, 2p a mile; while urban roads & m/ways ta quid a mile in rush hour, less at other times. Your personal, per mile tax-rate adjusted up or down depending on the CO2 output of the car you choose to use.

Fair, n'est-ce pas?

Or do we get another ten reasons for saying no and doing nothing?

How do we stop burning so much fuel in transportation? And why does everyone seem to regard themselves as deserving of a special exemption from any and all responsibility?
