Land Rover Carbon Offset - Good or Waste of Money?

As with all new Landys, I paid my off-set... of course the govt want to sting us for road tax, so is Carbon Off-Set worth the money??

Also, why doesn't the govt just tax fuel and scrap road tax, therefore those that pollute the most will pay the most Thumbs Up GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded Smile - 2020 110 loving it

Wokka, no the carbon offset isn't a good thing - I have heard that LR are dropping it if they haven't already. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Waste of time but I thought it was optional. Why pay when we simply get penalised by central government? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Waste of time. Does not matter if LR were the pioneers for doing this, the gov't (as usual) took it upon themselves to punish the good, whatever the cost, hence the "road tax" or as it is now known "car tax" rises.

Just proves that all this Co2 racket is purely a racket?!

It's about time people realised that once they have fleeced the likes of us and we are all forced into so called "cleaner" cars, they will just change the rules yet again and we all pay hideous amounts all over again.

Wonder what they will switch too when we are all running water based cars.......road noise??, water pollution??.....who cares I guess, by then this country will be bankrupt....courtesy of the Labour voter!! Big Cry L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!
