I'd be paying around £440 per year on fuel and £30 tax in the example C3. Compared to the £1300 fuel and £280 tax of the ZS 180.
Why would they want people to buy the C3 and pay them less in absurd tax?

Would they want me to do it for the environment? No, they are aware that global warming is a big con anyway...
I meant, if you're going to moan to the government that they are taxing your 7+ year old car too much. They'd only suggest purchasing an expensive new car which is more fuel efficient.

They're already looking at new ways to claw back the lost income from fuel tax anyway thanks to all the planet saving eco-friendly cars.
