So how much is your car tax going up by?

You what?
I don't understand it,because it doesn't do what it sets out. Reducing co2 emissions. Unfortunately measuring co2 form the engine doesn't mean anything.

A 10 litre engine which only does 2000 miles a yer is going to produce far far less co2 than a 1 litre doing 25000 miles. The only way to achieve tax for polluting is to scrap road tax and stick it on fuel.

Oh and I'm pre 2001. I doubt I will ever get a car from 2001 or new. Unless I'm either rich or I get a little economic thing just for commuting.
