Death of the Diesel?

The European finance ministers have asked the European Commission to look into raising a tax on aviation fuel (JetA1). Apparently the idea was brought up by the UK at a recent meeting of the G7!

If the tax came in it would remove the advantage in price and interest in JetA1 powered light aircraft will drop significantly. In the US there is very little interest as the price difference is not large.
