10% drop in petrol sales

Finally - a headline to provide some cheer. We are finally cutting down on some of our fossil fuel consumption after thirty years of campaigning, summits, gloomy predictions and apocalyptic disaster movies. The nation should be patting itself on the back. It could be be that there are more fuel efficient cars or that we decided to walk or take a bus. It  may also have a little to do with not being able to afford to run a car or go to the shops anyway. But, hey, we should rejoice in the fact we have cut our petrol consumption by over 10% over the year. However the BBC quote a gloomy man from the AA, saying that we are simply voting with our feet at the greed of petrol companies. Who cares. Keep the prices high.
