Politician: Subsidies are blowing out... you must economise on fuel and electricity...

Reports that luxury car owners are still filling up on cheap petrol came as no surprise to anyone – except perhaps the government – which has been "urging" the rich not to use subsidised fuels. According to automotive industry data meanwhile, luxury car sales in the medium to upper price segment jumped by 18.8% and 28.74% respectively in 2011, with Porsche, Lamborghini and BMW all predicting continued sales growth this year.
