So, the details have been released by the Treasury - 43 % of UK drivers will be £250 pa worse off after the swingeing new vehicle duty rules - about 9% may be better off.
The rule covers all cars bought since 2001, and is based on fuel consumption and emissions.
Top of the hit list must be that well known gas guzzler the Ford Focus.
Apparently, this move will add another 1 billion to gov's coffers. After they've lost 2 bn from compensating people for the idiotic 10p tax rate abolition, I await with baited breath to see what they will do about this idiotic tax.
Probably hoping people won't notice, and will be so incensed by the extra 2 p on fuel later this year, they will forget about this. Bear in mind with the increase in fuel prices they will be getting an absolute windfall with the increase in actual money from the already existing duty.
