How to you work out that your gas guzzling monster engine is kinder than a fuel miserly diesel Fiesta?

True, but the more fuel burnt, the greater the pollution even if the actual amount of pollution per litre burn is supposedly less on the compliant vehicles.

I didn't say it was right. Its the pollutant they gauge it on.

I wont be going in so don't care, that's not to say I don't care if you know what I mean. I am not a politician but there are probably better ways.

I see Shat Kan has now announced some sort of £2k claim/scrappage for those affected 🤔 🤣

So an older car that does 5 times the mileage on a litre of fuel than some of the massive engines common now is more polluting? Don't forget, these overpowered cars create more particulates from tyres and brakes, particularly true of electric cars.
Scrappage = more pollution created scrapping a good vehicle and manufacturing a new one especially if the new one is electric.

Mines ulez being petrol but being 2006, nearly £700 a year tax! Keep telling myself it’s only twice the price as my td6 and a lot less than other country’s charge.

Did I not say, I don’t think it right?

Totally agree why scarp a perfectly good car.

There are better ways I am sure, but greed I.E getting money in looks better on their balance sheet than spending money to provide better easier access as an alternative.

I've had a similar argument with a friend who has a Megane. She does approx 7x my mileage. The emissions from the Magane are appox 110 compared to 299 approx from the L322. Which means she puts out, per annum, much more CO2 than I do.but pays a fraction of the road tax.
 
It would be fair to say it should be based on mileage... But as mileage can be faked and fibbed about. It's much easier for those who tax to say it does that, you own it, you obviously drive and you will pay for that.....
Injuste or mal fait !!

Could be done fairly with a tracker for those wishing to enter ULEZ on a regular basis.
