MPs order urgent steps to wean UK off of petrol

Could the end of the motorist's reliance on petrol be nigh? Well, according to a report in the Observer newspaper, the Government are worried enough to speed up alternative fuel plans.

This is on top of news from the motoring organisation, the RAC, announcing that 92 per cent of UK motorists are struggling to fill their cars. There are also fears growing that the cost of petrol could hit £2 a litre if instability in the Middle East persists and deepens.
