It's totally wrong that a 1.3Cdti should only pay £35 whereas a 1.0i pays £115.
The petrol poses less CERTAIN damage to human health. Climate change isn't 100% certainly going to do anything.
CO2 emmissions aren't everything.
Maybe I should take my cat. out (replace just for MOT) to redress the balance - both in producing emmissions diesel drivers stink the streets and get away with, and fuel savings to offset the 115-35 = £80 I'm being screwed out of this year.
The co2 tax is already on the fuel. Road tax is for road maintainance. The Cdti weighs more than 10% extra so causes at least 10% more road damage.
Vauxhall are foolish too. The Euro-4 restrictions came in long after the 1.0-Twinport C was on sale (Oct 2006), infact the D was already launched. They know that a Cat increases co2 emmissions. Yet for the sake of the environment their fatal decision costs their customers. IDIOTS!!! - I will go VW/Skoda next time. Never VX again, they made a stupid mistake that's costing me money.
A 6% reduction in fuel use would have made this card band B. The unnecessarily large cat. converter IS to blame. Financial penalty for the sake co2 scaremongering. What about the REAL current problems like PM, NoX, smoke, noise. Particulate filters do nothing. Why do I still see/smell/splutter the CR#P that come out of 07-Reg diesels? If every car in London was diesel, every Londonder would have compost-rotten lungs within days.
So petrol drivers pay more tax for having a clean exhaust whilst diesel drivers get a reduction for a dirty one. Ever walked on a pavement past an idling diesel - splutter inducing.
The truth is they want us all to buy diesel - costs more so they get more VAT.
Yes they may be stronger due to thicker metal components but how much does metal cost - nowhere near the £2000 premium.
Once fuel usage in the UK is universally diesel, we can expect to see prices of 189.89p/litre.
Another reason is dictatorship. By organising diesel shortages/price hikes they will have a dictatorship over everyone's movement. Car is currently the only form of transport where they cannot constantly spy at you with CCTV.
And Gordon Brown, has all this power and about to be PM of 61-million people simply because 24,000 people in the constituency of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath wanted an MP to Uni. fee/tax the English to fund the free Uni. fees of their children.
I am sick of this green/environent co2 tax nonsense. I have been ripped off, and as a result I have stopped all forms of recycling. I have also found untaxable methods of increasing my emmissions purely out of spite. Taxing ME has only made me pollute more. Time to bring down the tax then, or thirsty for more?
