i thought everyone new how expensive it is to run these car's

I just had my Supercharged MOT’d and the emmisions came back as Zero on CO2 and HC, that really surprises me! So I wonder what pollutants it does kick out that are worse than other cars to justify the huge tax bill. Any one know? 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

None BP,,,its just a money racket for the government,,its like a ford fiesta car is £30 a year road tax but a fiesta van which is lighter because it aint got rear windows or seats is £240 a year,,work that one out.

£535 here for a 3.6TDV8.. worth every penny however... (as long as they behave )

You looking for sympathy or what? It only increased £20............ when I ordered my Countryman it was going to cost £10 a year in VED. 7 months and a budget later it was delivered and the VED has gone up £130 a year to £140 in between, but at least I didn’t get ripped off with Rich B d Luxury New Car Tax for cars cost over £40,000 ........ and can get around nicely on free electricity (until they tax free charging points!) 95% of the time! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

That’s what will happen Tim when everyone goes phev,,the price of electric will sky rocket,,just like when diesel was cheap & everyone got diesel cars & what happened

I have a sport car which puts out 226g per km and foes under 500 miles per year. So I SORN and unSORN the car as necessary several times per year just to create more overheads for HMG.

The pollution is proportionate to the amount of fuel, do away with road tax/RFL and at 12p per ltr on fuel that way everyone pays RFL and it is proportionate to the pollution created.

I've spent £671 on petrol over the last year/10k miles and pay nil RFL Andy - just think of the savings  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

^ wait till you come for your tyres changing Muddy,,,,I’ll put the price up
I’ve filled it up with fuel today £107 so that takes it to just over £1800 for 5080 miles & I haven’t quite had it 12 month yet
