I drive like 4,000 miles per year yet pay a bloody fortune for tax, and fuel.
Compared to an economical and efficient Citroen C3 for example, paying £30 per year tax and covering 15,000 miles. This car will cause more pollution than mine, more wear and tear to the roads, etc; yet pays virtually nothing for the privilege.
I guess the government would argue that you should get a Citroen C3 instead then.

Saying that i'm quite tempted by the Porsche Cayenne because people are trying to flog the big gas guzzling monsters for peanuts.
