I agree with Len Myers.
Driving around the city for work can be a real pain (The Argus, June 28). However, I disagree that a blanket price rise would not push cars off the road. It would also hurt business which would directly lead to higher food and other product costs and in turn exert pressure on wages.
Eventually fuel rationing may have to come in when the world's resources begin to deplete or there are problems with supply. Among my collection I have a motor car fuel ration book of the type which Len Myers was referring to. It is intact with all the coupons for six months.
This kind of system could alleviate problems of fuel shortages related to the pleasure or business use of vehicles on the road.
