Time to hang on to your MCS peeps - VED staying at £170 for another year, maybe longer! | ||

I may be driving a MCS, but my 4,000 miles a year will punt out a darn sight less greenhouse gasses than the 40,000-miles-a-year reps in the 1,6l tdci Mondeos | ||

Sadly being economical means worse problems than CO2 out the exhaust like NOX and all the rubbish that comes out the exhaust of a diesel. lol MINI Project Loon : MINIProject.co.uk | ||

See page 134-135 of the report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/24_11_08_pbr_completereport.pdf In summary, it appears that VED will go up by no more than £5 max next year for anyone. In 2010 there will be increases for existing owners but this will be no more than £30. New car purchasers with cars emiotting lots of CO2 will get hammered. At last - a reasonable approach! Peeps can stop selling their MCSs for silly money now. | ||
