Am I right in thinking that certain cars pay no, or an extremely small amount, of road tax, because they are soo fuel efficient.
Imagine we all swapped to them, where would the money for maintaining the roads come from?? Sean

Don't laugh - my daily drive is a 1.4 HDI Citroen C3 (I can hear you laughing) which I picked up cheap about 5 years ago. Regularly does 60-80mpg and road tax is £35 a year.Even though I keep thinking about changing it I can't bring myself too it as it is so cheap to run! My motorbike on the other hand costs £66 a year to tax!

So if I read it right, £1000 comes from the government and £1000 is expected to come from the car manufacturer??? Having recently bought a new car and got an amazing discount, I'd be kind of surprised if you can get the £1000 discount from the manufacturer without trading anything in
 Smoke and mirrors me thinks...

I have just read comment from the head of the AA on the scrappage allowance and the increase in fuel tax is what we will all pay for the priviledge.
What a whole load of 5h1t !
