Tell you something though, if this limited mileage did come about, they would be shooting themselves in the foot, as I would be getting the most gas guzzling yank tank I could find to cover those 1000? miles ;D don't think they would worry. What with the extra revenue in fuel duty...

Given that we already have Chris Barrie on side, can I suggest Car Legislation Intended To Outlaw Retros Is Silly

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in

I think we should lobby for all road tax to be put on fuel......All problems solved. Of course that'll never happen though.

Don't go there. We pay enough in tax on fuel anyway. Every time somebody suggests this, they seem to miss the fact most freight in this country goes by road, so adding more to the cost of diesel will just put up the cost of transport, and therefore the cost of everything in the shops, including petrol!

really? You are happy to pay more for everything, and I mean everything from sugar to petrol, just to drive a car that should by rights be tax exempt? Sorry but I don't think I will be....

The other thing to remember about lobbing road tax on fuel is that everytime any particular government decide they want to go to war/blame the last government/screw a few more quid out of us they'll just up the price. O.k, they can do that at the moment with RFL, but it's only once a year. Do it with fuel and they'll keep on taking from the pockets that always give (our's) and before you know it there will be precious few people making pleasure trips in their vehicles. Because they won't be able to afford it.
