RESTRUCTURING OF MOTORING COSTS PRELIMINARY STUDY
This report is the fourth progress report of the committee. The committee believes that restructuring the existing transport taxation system to remove standing charges on vehicles and replace these charges with an equivalent fuel tax is the most important action which could be immediately taken by the government to assist fuel conservation in this country. Such a move would be non - inflationary in the long term, produce an immediate reduction in fuel consumption, remove the encouragement produced by the present system to amortise high standing costs by the use of more fuel and be an essential first step to motivate the community towards all the other proposed fuel - saving options (car pooling, smaller cars, etc.). (TRRL) (TRRL) hydraulic jack and total collapse was induced by 30 cycles at 300 kn load. These results indicated that a rigid pipe which has cracked and thus has technically 'failed' in the ground can still support heavy external loads under some circumstances by mobilizing support from the bedding material when the pipe deflects.(a)
