Ok a little old now, but still an interesting read. Is this establishment still in business?

Excellent!

Interesting that the 1950 to 2009 comparisons show similar ratios for value of money in fuel price and car price but that road tax has dropped considerably in real terms and it's only because we have to suffer much more crowded roads that we maintain the same total tax take in real terms.
