Tax gone up on 172 :-(

[AndyWilde]

Just been to renew my car tax and, despite my renewal saying it's £215 for a year, it's actually £235 - I'm guessing this is because of the new tax year??

 

[Christophe]

yup. sucks big time

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Ph1 ftw

 

[Mike_08]

I didn't think of this when I brought my new 172

 

[Gally]

Getting pwnt big time the clio's like!

 

[Rob]

Ph1 ftw

How much are the ph1's??

 

[AndyWilde]

V Power by me is now 1.30 a litre - owning a car is becoming too expensive!!!

Where did you bring it from?

 

[k16v]

Use 95ron fuel then...

 

[Guvna!]

Use 95ron fuel then...

I've resorted to this. I just refuse to pay that much a litre. My mpg has actually increased now i'm using 95ron lol.

Strange.

I'm guessing it is around £190 for the PH1.

 

[Vish]

I didn't realise tax was up, but think it was delayed from a year ago.

I've started using regular unleaded. Can't really notice any difference TBH compared to V power. Will be sticking to Sainsburys regular for a while.

 

[Damo_Sport]

im the same.. ive gone to normal unleaded.. put in £10 worth of standard BP last week and its lasting ages for some reason lol

wtttf thats pale
i payed 130 for 6 months
wasnt impressed :dead:

 

[Snails]

I'm guessing it is around £190 for the PH1.

My renewal letter said £190, but when I came to pay on the 18th April it had gone up to £205 for my ph1.

it said on the letter something like "price correct at time of printing. Price may vary depending on when renewal is purchased"

 

[ekaJ]

Mines gone down to 110 :rasp:

 

[Hazza]

£155 for my iggy!

 

[Norris_309]

£125 a year for my Golf tdi which is nice come renewal time... enjoyed my old 172 cup more though :-(
My old Pug 306 derv is around the £200 mark though.. both 1.9 derv but one old & one new'er'
Was based on engine size back in the day.

Think my mate pays around £200 for his 306 HDi.

Crazy.

Ph1 registered before March 2000 helps you out on the tax

 

[swordjo]

My missus pays £35 for her 107 and about £30 a month in petrol.... if only eh!

 

[AndyWilde]

So you reckon I wont notice a difference going back to normal Shell fuel?? The car felt lumpier on the normal stuff but if the consensus on here is that there's no difference I'll revert back to normal!

 

[theduck]

£235 for the 197
£205 for the BMW
£155 for the Ibiza, though I dont have to pay that one

i used vpower for a year on my 182.. now started to use normal petrol wherever i stop and it feels the same

 

[Terry172]

It may feel the same but surely it can't do your car any good over the long run....I ask this as Renault even put a sticker inside the fuel cap saying RON 97 or 98 (can't remember which one but I know it's one of them) recomended.....

 

[Damo_Sport]

if you look at shells website

There normal unleaded section even claims to clean your engine lol

So if thats true.. wtf is vpower for lol apart from the ron lol

 

[FlameR]

£245 for mine

 

[Poopensharten]

£20 isnt going to leave you bankrupt

No she doesn't, the 107/aygo/c1 had dropped to £20 a year tax!

 

[bedford8256]

my boss pays £405 on his evo9. imo its a joke each car uses near enough the same amount of space on the road.i know it goes by immisions but how much of the road tax money is put towards helping the planet and how much of it is actually put towards fixing the roads as the 1s near me are to$$ed

 

[tonksy26]

Engine conversions ftw !!!!! :rasp:

£120 for a year

 

[DNP182]

Brown and Darling and transport secretary...dandy highway men!

£128 for the year in my Ibiza which isn't bad!

 

[James.f]

120 for moi

 

[chrispy.clio]

Use 95ron fuel then...

I cant

But I'm not complaining lol

 

[AK]

Mines gonedown to £60.50 for 6 months. Down from £66

yep its a joke, and its not just that, a range rover that is maybe +£400 tax for the year may do 1000miles. wheres a little clio thats £35 may do 15000+ miles. so doing it on emissions is a joke. i think the tax across the entire board should be the same and just do it on petrol. obviously the more petrol you put in the more tax you are paying neway so thats what it should be.

 

[Azreal]

I think something is deffo wrong with my car tax then, I've got a 52 plate 172 cup and paid £218 for 6months.

 

[Dunn]

you should of got 12 for that

 

[Alastair.]

dci has gone down to £30 for a year the clio 1.2 has gone down to £110, quids in!

 

[jenic]

I cant

But I'm not complaining lol

IIRC your reasoning was that because it has a decat your getting to pollute more of the world than you should for the tax you pay :rasp:
