    Hi Penelope, looks like cars before 1st march 2001 over 1549cc will be £175, cant find mention of alternative fuels for any car before this date.

    From 23rd March (tomorrow) ;)
    6) Why are pre 2001 registered vehicles with an engine capacity of 1549 or above been subjected to increased duty when the lower rate remains the same?

    The intention is to encourage people to drive cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

    This is absolutely unfair. What about people who can't afford a car under 5 years old? :mad: My mum drives a (00) Almera which is a 1.4 but is paying more than she would if it had been registered 6 months later :mad: :rolleyes: I won't be voting for him as PM! :rotfl:

    From tomorrow, if yours is going up you could try to renew on-line before midnight but probably too late !!
