I agree also that the government should just add 1-2p onto the price of petrol and scrap road tax.
they do that every 6 months anyway!!!!!!!

guys!
please do not complain about your taxes! do you know how much money do i have to spend for having an ST, here in Turkey?
here is the answer: it's 1700 TL in other words about 800 Pounds!
and we do not pay for our CO2 amount, we pay for our car's engine capacity. that means i pay more money than a guy who is driving a 1.6 lt mondeo. that's crazy!
if you have a car like a Focus RS (2.5 liter), you pay about 1200 pound annually. that's the same amount as a Porsche Cayman.
and consider that we have the highest petrol prices in the whole world.
it's 1.2 pounds per liter, unleaded 97 ron.
enough said i think...

Ouch...  That's stupid...  paying for the size of the engine...  ...You might aswell get the smallest 1 litre you can then and turbo it...
