Changing Car During BR

Hi All,

I have a old car, 2.0 Litre Auto, which i was allowed to keep.
Its getting on a bit and is a little thirsty (approx 25mpg) and i have a 60 mile round commute each day.

Is it acceptable for me to sell this car and spend the same amouont on a smaller diesel car, thus helping economy?

Would i need to inform OR if i did and resubmit a SOA with possible fuel reductions?

Thanks,
Chimaera
BR - late January 2007

    Ive changed twice now since I was told I could keep the car, as long as the value aint no more or within reasonable limits then you dont need to tell them.

    I havent submitted a new soa on my fuel allowance, it doesnt make that much difference really.
