19p a litre 'petrol' in development

[Topper]

A British company has invented artificial petrol that emits no greenhouse gases and could cost as little as 19p per litre at the pumps.
Cella Energy, the Oxfordshire-based firm that is developing the fuel, uses hydrogen, which is currently much cheaper than oil.
The first road tests of the as yet unnamed fuel are scheduled to take place next year. If everything goes to plan, then the miracle 'petrol' could be available in three to five years.

If it were ever to come about you could be sure that the govenment (of whatever colour) would tax the living daylights out of it.

Nah, like the everlasting razor and zero emission street-lighting, the individuals that patent them are paid handsomely and the designs vanish into the ether.
