Hmmmmmmm

I'm not sure where I stand on this. Because I only use the car every now and again the price increase doesn't worry me too much.

We complain a lot about this government but they seem to generally be doing OK as far as the economy is concerned. Whoever is in power is going to spend a lot of time in the wrong and if the Torys get in I don't hold out a lot of hope for them droping any of the taxes which have been introduced by Labour, in fact it will be the same old same old just with Dodgy Dave in charge instead.

So I'm undecided, if this was going to get anyone to use their car less I would be more swayed but quite frankly it won't. Better off increasing the tax on higher polluting vehicles to do that, i have a higher polluting car and I would pay more for the privilidge.
