I'm not bothered about global warming - mostly because most people seem to be buying big fat gas guzzlers so me saving 1000 gallons a year against the billions they use seems a tadge futile. But petrol is a finite resource, I cant see it doing anything other than going up in price over the next five years, and I can save enough money to buy a tidy motorbike, or a fun holiday, or just a shed load of nights out with the missus just by making by next motor electric rather than gas-guzzling.
Quick update - I bought the Morris 8 :¬)
