Probably one of teh most un-eco friendly vehicles ever made but hats off to Toyota for a stunning piece of marketing!
teh oil is there, the price rises are due to China and USA sucking most of the supply that is currently available, OPEC won't increase teh supply so are keeping it at an unnatural high level. The fact that we use X gallons a week is irrelevant, there are still huge reserves and more being found. They might be in more inhospitable places but its there all teh same.
Taxation on fuel in the UK is a total joke. Look at the state of roads in Accrington, they are disgraceful for teh amount of money we pay in road fund and fuel tax. I can take you to a major road with at least half a dozen holes in the tarmac so bad that the old cobbles are showing through. When was the last time you actually saw a road in accy being resurfaced?(and I don't mean that stupid tar and chippings thing that they do that is lethal to bikers and puts hundreds of stone chips in your pride and joys paintwork.)
