Just noticed that the tax disk on my car says DC1 instead of PLG, also the cost for 6 months was

My 2002 2.0 petrol mondeo is in a higher tax band (195 per year) than my 2.0 petrol Galaxy(170 something) with an ancient ford twincam unit that can trace its heritage back to the seventies Pinto I had in my old Capri!

 

Theres no way that its more enviromentally friendly than the mondeo, for a start I can squeeze 38 to the gallon out of the mondeo compare with a paltry 25 from the galaxy.

 

The DVLA have got their heads up their rear facing orrifices. They are just squeezing more out of drivers of more modern cars knowing full well that as time goes by the older cars will get thinner on the ground and before you know it we are all paying higher tax.

should be pretty low since its a tdi manual - low emissions but I think yours was registered before cut off date so should be bog standard rate :)

My Dads car is about 4 months off the cut off date..........he pays full rate while the "newer" version (ie no different just slightly newer pays the lower emmision rate)

 

We always thought this was a way to tax the people that couldn`t afford newer cars? Thats about 85% of the country as I see it?
