Clean diesel surely better?

I have a Citroen C4 (company car, no choice!) but it stacks up pretty well.

1.6HDi (90hp), 115g/km emissions and even with my driving style (ie. thrash it, constantly) I still get 52-53mpg. Seats five, with pretty good luggage space too. Oh, and £6-7,000 cheaper than the Auris/Prius Hybrids.

With diesels getting cleaner all the time (hint, hint HMRC - stop making us pay more tax for our supposedly "dirty" engines) and economy that near enough equals these "eco-friendly" cars, why pay more?

Literary Foresight?

2006 - Patrick Robinson - Ghost Force

Read this book and you'll see some people clearly saw this coming a long time ago. The similarities to the recent oil exploration/discoveries around the Falklands are spooky to say the least.

Sure, the plot line is a little far out but the political background and the cuts referred to are frighteningly familiar.
