I'm sorry Roberto but I never remember anyone telling me to buy a Derv, the only reason people bought them was to try and save a few quid at the pumps or to run red, or as stated a few years ago for the torque but i'm not sure how many people run an A8 to pull any loads that need more torque than the petrols chuck out, I may be wrong but no one has ever posted a photo of their A8 pulling a 3 ton load. At the end of the day I warned you all in 2013 over the heavy particulates those filth machines were throwing out and you all chose to ignore it. My tax money should be used to benefit the masses not the skinflints that thought they'd save a few quid

Gosh it would take me hours of typing to air his opinions and thoughts.
And i certainly cant publish it on here as it would start a massive debate.
Electric cars are coming thats for sure but totally ? not in my lifetime.
I like the idea of converting cars to full electric but only seen company's doing classics so far.
mmmmmmmmmmmmTasty

Now this is where it gets really interesting. So electric has to come from somewhere we can all agree on that, coal, gas and nuclear. Hydro, solar and wind are the only "clean" sources.
Now I have been working in offshore windfarm and submarine cable installation and maintenance / repair. The ships that do the work vary in size but burn about 20- 40 cubes of fuel a day and take many days to lay just one cable, not counting the initial survey time maintenance ect. So 20 cubes = 20,000 litres over 90 = 222 A8 tank fulls a day.
You have to wonder how clean, clean energy actually is. Also as the cables are under water they need to be watertight so have rubber outer with a plastic lined core but as these items are a by product of oil, when we stop using oil...…. made me start thinking how many local council vehicles are electric (I know here none) police, fire, ambulance, none that I've yet seen.
