Not the most exciting topic I know, but from April 2002 the charge on the benefit of a company car is to be graduated according to carbon dioxide emissions and not business mileage.

The measurement is in grams of CO2 emitted per kilometre.

Does anyone know what the official figure for a UK spec (99) Impreza Turbo is?

(Apologies if this should be in one of the technical forums)

I think it's quite high. I have 222 stuck in the back of my head but it maybe wrong.

There is a website that tells you all this but isn't it typical, I cannot find the URL now. I will keep looking for it though.....

 

I concur with Hudster, it is certainly in that ballpark, although I thought that it was 232. Isn't the RFL going to be based on this too?

Cheers Colin,
I was tearing my hair out trying to find that URL. And I was wrong as well (apologies Hudster). Ho hum.

... and i think that the "scale" slides each year, so the same car will end up paying more tax, then more tax, until you can't afford to drive!

Can you get hydrogen conversions for the Scooby - there are no CO2 emissions at all that way?

Thanks guys.

Also looked at the Department of Environment, Transport and regions website:

 

Interesting that the DETR's website has "fuelcon" in the address
