Beautiful - the right response to current times.

The fastest yet variant of the CGT and it runs on biofuel.

Bio-fuel?

I am puzzled confused

Everyone is running away from it. Have they not heard President Obama rubbishing it too, to keep the Greens happy?

It's widely discredited and hated by the environmentalists with as much passion as they hate regular petrol, if not more so?

Very strange, Bentley appear to be a couple of years behind the times with that, at least.

No-one knows what will or won't work, and you would be unwise to plan based on media hysteria. Biofuels are 'unfashionable' because of the commodities spike which sent food prices soaring. Next year it could be totally different and the US could be crying out for a way of selling huge quantities of grain. Farm produce is continuously fluctuating. Bentley are also working on other alternative technologies. This happens to be the first to hit the street, and on any view it's progress, and you will note, the fastest yet. Not a deluxe G-Wiz.

I'm sure it will run on V-Power too, and that's what I would do.

I don't disagree.

But Bio fuel is an alternative fuel, in that it is an alternative to petrol. I am sure that Bio fuel has a future as and when the oil runs out. But that is a very different thing to being green. Bio fuels green credentials have gone, if they were ever there in the first place.

It is the 'Green' thing that I object too, as do the environmentalists. In that, Bentley have got it wrong (or being cynical, maybe they know full well, but the headline is great to present to the vast majority who will think it is green).

Bio fuel is an alternative fuel, it is not a green fuel.

Well I hope that it's an alternative to high octane petrol and not diesel.
