I will start to get more concerned about the environment when governments start taxing aviation fuel and marine fuel oils which are presently duty and carbon tax free. The impact of my RRS on the environment is miniscule compared to the impact of 1 holiday charter flight to Spain or a day at sea on a ship even if it is running at "economical" revs. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I think you'll find we mostly think that global warming etc is a useful tool for governments to tax us more without any real evidence. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I make up for the lack of dirtiness on my RRS by overdoing the mud wallowing when I go to play in the Defender......... much to the annoyance of my neighbour Laughing 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Better start then, aviation fuel is duty free only for commercial flights, and from the end of this month in Europe all operators have to have a plan in place to record emissions and pay a duty on it '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Thumbs Up Have started already Fly by running on Vpower diesel in the RRS....................... sad to say I will not be putting anymore through the motor as after 4 tanks full (a month of motoring) my fuel consumption has increased from 28.3mpg average per tankful to 26.4mpg after the 3rd tankful. I shall be returnong to Shell or BP standard diesel when the latest tankful has run through. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
