Doesn’t look good for Prince Phillip, Charles went to see him today which is unusual.

The greener petrol is designed to cut vehicle emissions but will likely increase fuel bills slightly for owners of newer cars - and hike running costs for older vehicles that can't use it at all.

Ethanol is hygroscopic so attracts water . It is also a solvent so attacks rubber and other components .  It has caused no end of small engine problems in the USA . The devils work !
