road tax(yes i know we've chatted about it before!)

Im an MOT tester....boring i know. Ive got into the habit of looking at tax discs to see what individual cars pay.Now my clio 182 is a late 2004 model which according to our state of the art emissions machine is breathing fresh air almost and i pay £115 for 6 month at the mo like most of you guys. A '99 Subaru impreze WRX STI estate misfire on wheels came in.Now this car is almost ten years old,has a turbo the size of a dustbin lid etc but yet the 6 month tax was £99. WTF? im certainly confused.I did a run from kent to berkshire in the clio and managed 48mpg at a speed of 40-60 varying.No impreza will do that. Anyone got a clue? cos if im missing something i wanna piece of it ffs

emissions and cars before 2001 iirc dont fall into the emissions category for tax

Hence why a ph1 172 is cheaper to tax than a ph2

Its stupid.

My GTi is £200 (I think) but if it was a year newer it would be £300.

More to the point, you got 48mpg on a cross-country run??

M25 monday mornin 6.00 til 7.00. it went to 48.2 but came back down as the traffic moved into the variable speed limit of heathrow. to be honest my mpg has gone up since using mobil 1 instead of elf oil.

Buy a jap import or a yank tank, they all pay road tax for a 1998 1.6 as they can't force them to run by our emissions laws. Think in a year or 2's time my next car'll be an import
