Come on MSE, it's one thing for users to call it that, another for the site to get it wrong
It's VED or vehicle tax, not road taxSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Owners of all but the most efficient are increasing? Got that wrong also.
I have a 2L diesel that barely beats 46MPG and its still £30, no increase.
Is that efficient?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
111-120g/km CO2 in the official standardised testing. So, yes, fairly efficient.forgotmyname wrote: »Owners of all but the most efficient are increasing? Got that wrong also.

Of course, the actual results are down to the driver...0 -
46mpg is the car not the driver, I got almost 60mpg on the same journey last year in the older version of the same car.
Difference = old car no DPF, new car with DPF. The emissions should be tested during a regen and averaged I think. Makes a change for me to be on the winning side though
Curious now as to how much fuel it dumps into the DPF during a regen.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
We have a LDV Convoy motorhome running on petrol and LPG and have zero emissions and still have to pay the same vehicle tax as a diesel. How unfair is that?0

How does it manage to burn a fuel and have zero emissions? I suppose it could be fitted with a CO2 scrubber, but I'd have expected The Government to have figured that one out, and still tax the same, as the CO2 will be released when the scrubber is flushed.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

My 207 HDi doesn't have a DPF either. Official figs are 120g/km so just inside the £30/year band. :cool:
No idea what my MPG is but it is high 40s or low 50s. Depends how I drive and where I'm driving really. 0
