Poll, cost of Motoring in the future.

What are you most worried about for motoring in the future?

Personally for , its the price of fuel, currently 88 pence per litre ($1.6 /litre) in blighty ( UK):mad:

Currently govtand put plans into place, due future 'gridlock' and 'climate change' are going to put in road tolls,

enormous cost for 'stupid' runflat replacements! (just in case I might get a flat tyre)

All of the above.

3.0 litre petrol cars will be illegal at some point in the future. I'm happy to watch my carbon footprint elsewhere, but on this one thing - I will pay for the privilidge and make hay while the sun shines.

Garage List
I'd go for the road tolls. A stealthy way to get a transponder onto every car on the road. Then the sky is the limit, they could track your every movement and indiscretion.

The rest of it we'll just learn to live with as the prices rise.

even though were probably not going to be around, its been researched that by 2100, the avg temp will increase by 10 degrees, even though it may not sound like much, the last ice age ended due to the weather becoming 9 degrees warmer

We'll be living in bouncy (floating) castles and driving BMW boats. Sun tan cream will be a must on the shopping list.
