IIRC the 2.5 is cleaner on paper than the 2.0.

It seems Road Fund Licence (ie car tax) went up in the budget again, unannounced as usual. It was £460 / £260 last month.

I don't get why they charge so much for the tax. If they want people to get cheaper ones to tax then it's fair to say the MPG would be far better so they would then need less fuel and consequently pay less tax. The only thing I can see happening if everyone bought a low tax band car is for the fuel to shoot up even more in price! I don't buy into the 'green issues' as being the reason behind it all.
