You're going to get a good old fashioned bubba-style dry bumming from old Gordy I reckon.

VED up to £210 for the gas guzzlers, which presumably will be levied on all cars registered before the emissions based tax came in.

[Zollo]

Wahoo!

[Swervin_Mervin]

Phew. I think our rears have been spared. I'm pretty sure VED for pre-emmissions vehicles are frozen.

is 2 litre considered a guzzler it feels like 1
has anyone ever done a gas conversion to a willy
still a few years away tho

To further reduce carbon emissions, 5% of fuel will be made from bio-fuels from 2010, with new support and incentives worth up to 35p a litre by 2008.

[Swervin_Mervin]

bio-fuel will be the next big thing.

[Swervin_Mervin]

Actually, I'm wrong. We've to stump up a meagre £5 more. Fair dos.

If I still had the dci80 it would only cost me £50 for the year under the new bands.

See ya

7.75 To strengthen environmental incentives, the Government announces further
reforms to VED:
• a new higher band of graduated VED (band G), set at £210 for petrol cars, will
be introduced for the most polluting new cars (those above 225g of carbon
dioxide emissions per kilometre);
• the VED rate for the small number of cars with the very lowest carbon
emissions (band A) will be reduced to £0 to encourage take-up and assist the
development of the low carbon car market;
• VED rates will also be reduced for band B by £35 and C by £5, frozen for
bands D and E, and increased by £25 for band F;
• rates for pre-2001 registered cars and light goods vehicles in the lower band
will be frozen with the higher band increased by £5;
• the reduced rate of graduated VED for alternative fuel cars will be extended to
include those cars manufactured to run on high blend bioethanol (E85); and
• In total, 50 per cent of cars will see their VED frozen or reduced.Three million
cars will pay VED of £100 or less.

7.76 Motorbike VED rates and the standard rate for post-2001 light goods vehicles (LGVs)
will be increased in line with inflation (with VED for LGVs rounded to the nearest £5), while
Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) and bus VED will be frozen. All VED changes will take effect
from 23 March 2006.
