Object: Petrol Prices
I was reading an article that said petrol was not all that expensive
per litre compared to say, orange juice, perfume or champagne, but it
did say that Space Shuttle fuel was very cheap, something like 12p a
litre.
Why could we not put that in our car engines? is it cheap because it's
not taxed? or would it never work because the engine would have to
change too much?

The shuttle uses two kinds of liquid fuel; liquid hydrogen and liquid
oxygen for launch and hydrazine and oxygen for the shuttle engines.
Neither are particularly suitable for cars and hydrazine is toxic.
It is "cheap" because they buy in mass quantites and the government
doesn't tax itself.
Have you no idea how much tax you are paying? Last I heard the UK
gas tax was well over 50p a liter.
