Someone explain this one
1 year's road tax, for a 1996 Peugeot 106 with a 1124cc Petrol engine = £120
1 Year's Road tax, for a 2003 Peugeot 206 with a 1400cc Diesel Engine = £35 1 Year's road tax for a 2008 SEAT Ibiza with a 1400cc Disel Engine = £0 Why am I paying the most when I have the smallest engine?? |

Because you have the oldest most polluting engine, admit it you're a bad man and a planet killer.

But it's much smaller than the others. Bigger engine = more pollution + Less efficiency. For ever and ever amen. Age does not even come into it.
Don't get me wrong, I'd buy an electric car [Lightning please] but I'd still drive a car, very much like yours in fact Falcie, through a greenpeace conference. |

I would think the difference in efficiency in engines between 1996, 2003 and 2008 is lightyears TBH.
My daughter's Corsa is a 1995 1500D (£110 tax) and my wife has a 2004 Clio 1500 turbo D (£35) and the Clio will return an extra 15-20mpg over the Corsa. The engine management systems (Corsa doesn't have one) and designs are way ahead now. |

The efficency can't really make that much difference as with the 2 cars i mentioned before
The corsa got about 30 i think The Punto gets 48 |

And don't mention electronics. As soon as I get hold of a car with electronics doing something under the bonnet, the offending article will be ripped out and smashed. Computers belong on desks, not in cars. Quote:

Diesels never have the same CO2 emmision levels as petrols thats the big difference in price.
My 1600cc Fiesta cost a whopping £35 to tax last week! |
