    It’s disappointing to see how the tax reduction for hybrids which the gov laid out in the budget is not making it’s way to the market. I guess since the price of petrol dropped everyone seems to forget that we need hybrids on the streets to help clean the air a little.
    Paul, everyone was crying 6 months ago about expensive petrol and expensive hybrids. Wake up people, the petrol price will go up again. And when it does, please don’t cry here.
