As the evidence on health risks rises, there may come a time when the
govt. decides to price them off the road by hiking the road tax or
taxing diesel fuel.

Make diesel more expensive and the RPI goes up. Almost everything we
buy is moved by diesel powered commercial vehicles. In 2015, HGVs and
vans in the UK consumed 11.7 million tonnes of diesel fuel.


Very good, Sir Humphrey, in that case ban diesel cars from city centres?
Or impose a 60MPH speed limit for diesels on motorways. /Jim Hacker

OK, so clean air motorways.

Perhaps petrol cars should not be able to engage a gear until the cat
has warmed up too.
