Tax on Diesel cars
Re: Tax on Diesel cars

This article below was in a newspaper in UK on Saturday - I am, at this moment coincidentally , about to change our UK car (18 year old petrol Auto Mercedes - Yes we always do keep our cars a long time!) but I am having a big problem, I definitely want either one of these two choices (after researching), an Automatic, Petrol, B class Mercedes or an Automatic, Petrol, Nissan Qashqai, N-Connecta or Techna model (under or maximum of 3 years old, lowish mileage, demo or one owner) - Cannot find anywhere a petrol, Automatic 190 to 2 ltr engine. Every car we see is Diesel that has the criteria I want, it's so frustrating but just shows that petrol cars were being sidelined for Diesel...now it's going full circle by the sound of it!

And therein lies the problem. We bought a new Nissan last year and went for automatic (my wife reckons they're building gear sticks further over nowadays and she had problems reaching it without looking down....oh, my heart) and the only automatic ones were in diesel.
Plus, the new emission tests on these newer cars shows a much less CO rating than petrol (which was always the nasty bit) and then they come up with NO but, again, my new car shows less NO than that permitted with petrol cars as well.
They also comply with EU standard 6 which is the very best rating for any car, let alone diesel.
OK, the older diesels on the road do belch out stuff but, as both UK and Spain come up with a road tax depending on CO emissions, then surely they could come up with that includes NO as well?
Of course, the cynical in me just reckons it's another way of getting money out of the motorist. Over 70% of these bad gasses come from buses and lorries, not private cars.
