You sure, Dave? According to the motortorque list at the top of this thread, there's a higher Band G for cars over 225g/km - and so surely I should be in that band right now, if I'm at 228g/km.... yet I am not. I paid £210... implying I'm 225g/km or less in the eyes of the gu'mmint. This is what's confusing me...

This is all subject to the Wisebuyers guide being correct in relation to your C02 emissions (see below)

All agreed - but I'm still confused... If Wisebuyers (and Parkers) is correct, and I'm over 225g/km, then I'd expect to get lumbered at the four-hundred end of this mallet-to-the-wallet... but this motortorque news seems to holding out a tease, and maybe I'm only gonna get stung for three hundred or so... or else, I'd be paying FOUR hundred right now, surely?

Or is the current Band G JUST for vehicles newer than Mar '06? (which might explain the inconsistencies I'm seeing).

And if so, is this 'age threshold' (and the 2001 one too) going to roll forward as we progress over the years, and have the older cars fall out of the higher-end of the system (which would be fairer, imho, given the infeasibly stupid tax-to-value ratios that would accrue, otherwise).

Spitting feathers, me... that Darling 'fellow' needs stringing up, imho...
