Stes Corsa

1.3CDTi - 119g/km - £35 to tax

450 miles per week = 724km

724 x 119 = 86.16kg of CO2 = loads

My Astra

Z20LER - 228g/km - £400 to tax

100 miles per week = 160km (probably less, I'm overestimating)

160 x 228 = 36.48kg of CO2 = not much.

So Ste is producing more than twice the CO2 and pays £370 less.

What a stupid, stupid system.

Although, in the old fuel pricing system, diesel was approximately 15p/litre more.

Always said this its an absolute con. I do about 5,000 miles a year and pay more than people doing shit loads more than me.

Tax should be on fuel and thats it.
