How much is this a litre ? Or is it sold by the kilo ?

What are emissions like ? Low tax , or are we talking £425 a year here ?

How does performance compare, similar to petrol/diesel or better/worse ?

Can you park normally or is it like LPG and no underground carparks or euro tunnel ?


Thats 4 cars in three days I've seen "powered by fairydust".

I can actually answer that last question there, you cant park properly at all with one of these it seems...

increases torque immensely judging by the size of the fat munter I saw steering a Polo this afternoon.

One of the best I heard on here on this subject was

"Powered by Fairydust? Hmmmph. "Powered by Fairycakes morelike."

It does seem to be one of those 'Print off the job description and tick every box' things. Just another stereotype that you can be legitimately extra smug and snobby about. Around our way it's always slightly barried pink Ford KA's.

Ooh, hark at her!

Friend of a friend bought a Toyota Starlet Glanza V recently that produces 160whp running on this 'fairydust' needless to say the sticker was peeled off in front of the previous owner! hehe

Hmmmm... I wonder if I can get one of those made up and have it stuck on the OHs car. I'm a tad miffed at having to buy her a load of new bike gear yesterday because she can't get in her leathers despite being on a perma-diet mad Or even "Powered by pies".

I can see a market for reactionary stickers; "Powered by rendered baby dolphins" or "Fuelled by the ground-up pulp of infant seals" that sort of thing

Surely that's already covered by the 'I slow down for pies' sticker in the PH shop? Or perhaps a new addition to the PH sticker range beckons?

"Powered by B.P" really upset people!
