I filled up the Omega and the BMW yesterday. £143 in total
At least the car tax seems to have stayed the same. I have just received my reminder and it is £205.Thankfully I can walk to my new place of work. So the Omega will only be doing 4-5K per year, plus if I use my car for work I receive 53p per mile

Why was mine £245?

I imagine Zombie's was registered before March 2001, ergo he pays the 'over 1600cc' rate of tax, and yours is post March 2001 so you pay the (new) band K tax..

I don't know what the g/km figures are for the Omega, but I wouldn't mind betting they'd fall into the £425 tax bracket if they were still being made after 2006..

filled the car up on Sunday, as I was passing Asda, £24 got me 43L of fuel - Next was the beemer that cost me £17 to fill up. Bike is now more expensive to fuel than the car

What gets me is when fuel was going up to nearly £1 a liter every body went up in arms they stopped the fuel from coming out of the depots and i for one was all for it....Now no one seems to bat an eye lid yes we have a go about it but nothing is going to be done about...Just like us good brits we bend over and take it again and again.

i remember bitching about it when fuel went over £1 a gallon.
