Road tax increase - will yours be more?

Not even sure what ours will be - we have an older BMW, don't think they do the same model any more! We don't currently come under their A-G rating, presumably as our car is over 10 years old.

I still think the environmental costs of producing a new car must outweigh the day to day environmental impact of running an older car. New car = raw materials that have to be created and shipped to wherever the manufacturer is. Plus heat and light and whatever other energy they use in the getting the raw materials and then in the car factory. And transporting the car to the dealer.

Would be nice if someone had done the sums so this could be proven one way or t'other.

I don't know the sums, Edam, but I'd be inclined to think you are probably right. Which is of course evidence that this is more about revenue generation than it is about the environment.
