A TfL spokesman said: "A very small number of car owners will go from qualifying for a 100% AFD to falling into the £25 a day CO2 charge bracket.

"That is why the AFD will not be phased out for almost two years, giving owners time to change their vehicle."

He added vehicles converted to use LPG can still use petrol, which is associated with CO2 emissions.



F**king idiot. Oh course it can run on petrol but the whole point of converting the damn thing to LPG in the first place is to either i) save money, ii) less emissions.

My car is converted to LPG and never let it run on petrol once it's warmed up, saves a fortune and CO2 barely registers come MOT time. Red Ken seriously hates cars.

And bikes as well. Study over last couple of years shows a reduction in bike accidents by 42% is possible in London alone by letting motorbikes use bus lanes. Apparently Ken has been sitting on this since about Sept last year as unpopular with pedal-cyclists and might screw up his re-election. How many deaths could have been avoided in this time?
