At a time when fuel prices are on every one minds as well as the cost of road tax and all the other inflationary price rises, talk of pay as you go road usage has been met with guarded opinion.

The Government has reopened discussions on this subject with the view trialling black box technology in 100 vehicles in Leeds, Milton Keynes, Essex and South West London.

In principle, this would mean that drivers would pay on a weekly or monthly basis dependent on their movements which would be tracked by satellite. This concept alone has also been cause for concern.

LPG is booming according to dealers and LPG fitters.

With Claims of tenfold increases in enquiries, and a quadrupling of sales, while dealers are claiming that LPG cars are guaranteed to sell used.Vehicle auction giant BCA recently reported a groundswell of interest in alternative fuelled vehicles with strong prices being paid at sales.

So what's causing it? Fuel prices. Motorists converting their cars from petrol to LPG can save up to 60p per litre, LPG currently costs 51% less than petrol - and 56% less than diesel. It represents quite a turnaround for the LPG car, which spent a few morose years in the doldrums following the Government's decision to end grants under its PowerShift programme.

LPG is well worth considering and you can either join the rush for the few LPG cars at auctions - or consider converting models yourself, with the help of a specialist. This generally costs £1,800 to customers, but we're sure you can strike a deal with a local convertor (approved, of course; customers are wary of non-approved conversions)."

With over 1400 LPG outlets in the UK now it's even one less excuse not to convert to LPG and don't worry the other common concern associated with this is "what if the LPG runs out?" well it will automatically change over to the petrol/diesel fuel supply.

Afla has announced the arrival of it's new small car the MiTo which aims to compete with other small cars like the Mini. It is a great looking car with looks inspired by the 8C Competitizione supercar withf eatures like a pronounced grille and oval headlights. At the rear, there are bold circular LED taillights that are circled with chrome.Based on the Fiat Grande Punto Platform which is  front wheel drive, so a Fiat influenced platform but very distinctly Alfa on top with the chic bodylines.

Alfa engineers have also equipped the car with a special electronic control system called DNA - Dynamic, Normal and All-Weather. This adjusts the responsiveness of the throttle, steering, brakes and gearbox for sporty, town and slippery conditions. This type of equipment has never been used on such a small car before.

The MiTo also has the same four turbocharged units shared with Grande Punto and Bravo  which will include a 1.4 T-Jet petrol engine and the stunning 1.9 litre mutlijet diesel, with a more than modest 90-155bhp this should be sporty as well as good looking.

Mito will come in 3 and 5 door versions and there is even talk about a convertible and estate versions.  Making its first public debut at the end of June, the car will be seen officially at the Paris Motor Show in September, and arrive in UK dealers in January priced at around £12,000 which means we should see some of the first leasing deals come late September/Early October

Would it surprise anyone if a mid engine car won the Cannonball Run across Europe, not really. But it would if you said it was a 74bhp Smart Car.

The Union Jack liveried Smart Fortwo Brabus was driven by Essex duo Adrian Hull and David Ward. They actually beat a vast array of 6 figure value super cars and despite being overtaken by all and sundry they gained advantage by not having to stop for fuel as often as the rest.

The Smart Cars excellent fuel economy will be put to the test again later in the year at the Lands End to John O Grotes Challenge and of course automatic qualification into next years Cannonball Run.

Why not own you own Cannon Ball Run winning Smart Car?

Why worry about what your car will be worth in 2 or 3 years time? Earlier this month, EurotaxGlasses, the industries premier vehicle valuation specialists stated that they expected used vehicle values to drop by up to 12 % between now and the end of the year. Meanwhile 4x4 operators could experience depreciative hits on their vehicles of nearer the 20% mark.

This is where contract and leasing come into themselves. Why set a value on a personal loan or hire purchase that turn out to be what you expected? Many people are concerned with the change over figures at the end of their ownership period and the start of their new car purchase. It may seem like a long way away but do you really want to lose extra 12% on your cars value in 2 to 3 years time.More...

With less money to lend, Banks and Finance companies are proving to be more difficult to borrow money from and when considering a major expenditure such as a new company vehicle why would any business use valuable capital to buy a depreciating asset. We can provide you with fixed monthly costs and no depreciation risk. Contract hire, which provides off balance sheet funding, improves a company's gearing and can improve liquidity. In addition a VAT registered business can reclaim 50% of the VAT on the finance rental and 100% of the maintenance rental on a new car. In comparison no VAT is recoverable
when a new car is purchased using cash, cheque or hire purchase. More...

1. Keep your car well serviced and check the oil level regularly.
Correctly maintained cars can operate more efficiently and help reduce Co2 emissions.
2. Check your tyre pressure every month.
Under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption by up to 4%.
3. Remove unnecessary weight from your boot or back seats.
The heavier the car, the harder the engine has to work and the more fuel it consumes.
4. Close your windows, especially at higher speeds, and remove empty roof racks. This will reduce wind resistance and can lower your fuel consumption and Co2 emissions by up to 10%.
5. Use air conditioning only when necessary.
Unnecessary use increases fuel consumption and Co2 emissions by up to 5%.
6. Start driving soon after starting the engine and turn off the engine when stationary for more than a few minutes.
Modern engines enable you to just get in and go, thus reducing fuel consumption.
7. Drive at reasonable speeds and above all, drive smoothly.
Every time you accelerate or brake suddenly, your engine uses more fuel and produces more Co2. Driving at 70 mph on the motorway can help improve mpg by up to 10%.
8. When accelerating, change up gears as early as possible.
Higher gears are more economical in terms of fuel consumption.
9. Try to anticipate traffic flow. Look at the traffic as far ahead as possible in order to avoid unnecessary stopping and starting within the flow of traffic.
10. Consider car sharing for work or leisure.

NCAP provides safety star ratings for all cars. The Fiat 500 has been give 5 stars which is exceptional for any small car however as this You Tube video suggests even a 5 star small car still can take a beating from a large 4x4 like the Audi Q7 with a 4 star NCAP rating.

We aren't suggesting that the NCAP ratings are out but what this test does show is that the despite the bigger cars bad reputation at the moment, they are a safer place to be in an accident. The video shows minimal damage to the Q7 whilst the front end of the Fiat 500 was completely destroyed.

It is also worth noting however, that the 5 Star NCAP rated Fiat 500's Driver would have sustained minimum injuries.
