One of the issues here is the taxman. A stroke of the chancellors pen could pretty much eliminate the cost differential as it did with automotive fuel a few years ago.

Make no mistake. The UK Government are aware of the tax advantage of diesel and are actively looking for a way to close this 'tax loophole' according to my local MP.

If JetA1 goes to £1 a litre will tubines look so attractive?
