Tankering Fuel - Yes or No?
We are often asked to tanker fuel between LGW and Scotland and sometimes even as far as Italy. It makes me uneasy to carry extra fuel, which burns extra fuel, increasing our overall fuel consumption to save a few dollars.
In these days of sensitivity to carbon emissions, threats of global warming, and even if you are a 'global warming denier', the finite nature of oil reserves, I believe we should be doing our utmost to save every drop we can.
Does anyone else believe it to be immoral and unwise to tanker fuel? Should the use of these resources overide any economic considerations? Should fuel-tankering be regulated?
(Please note, I am not talking about bringing fuel into LHR and other places where local supplies are themselves limited - that is a practical consideration.)
