Is it Marks & Sparks or Asda that have started to use 'streamlined' semi-trailers. I put the word inside inverted commas as It's probably just a ruse so they can climb on the 'green' bandwagon - I bet any fuel savings would be measured in terms of egg cup fulls!

I have seen both Asda and T.K. Maxx trucks with streamlined trailers and like you say Julian its all about image and looking like you are doing the right thing by appearing to care about the environment, I think most people have now sussed out that global warming is all a load of bull ;)
