the only difference between your owning the impreza and my suggestion above is that you would have a leg to stand on in an environmental debate with my suggestion

so why dont you chop in the scoob for a new polo that returns 76mpg, not worry about rpm and still keep it for decades.

And as for the tree huggers-dont believe everything you hear on the news about the enviorment. If they were that worried about the planet why are they buildin nuclear war heads,cuttin down the rain forests or drivin around in their 4.2 jags instead of a push bike?
Kettle,Pot and Black comes to mind

The whole point of the higher tax on band g is twofold
1. dissuade the public from buying one
2. incentivise the car manufacturers to lower the emissions
Raising fuel duty will achieve neither of these.

Perhaps I've been slow on the uptake & I put that down to the Xmas booze!

Just get yourself registered as disabled with a bad back or something then you get free road tax. Vehicle tax for disabled people : Directgov - Disabled people

All old (er) cars are in the £180 bracket don't think because you have a Type R you are special 
this higher tax bracket only apply to the better newer cars 
I also have a Type R but i refuse to tax it because i have another scooby to use

You have removed your CAT In that case you should really be paying £1000 a year now - destroying the planet for those who follow in the vain attempt to go faster!
How would mileage be calculated? At MOT Time? Those who put CATs on for MOTs would simply wind the mileage back.
You are being rather niaive - but, it's Xmas ...... so, I'm chilled.
The tax isn't about trying to save the planet, or are you really that dumb?

The logical conclusion from Govn't policy, for those of us that are ordinary taxpayers, is very bleak indeed. Humans will kill each other off long before any "human induced damaging climate change" happens.

I think the prices we pay are disgraceful, we pay to tax our cars, 80% to fuel them, 17.5% tax to get them new, how much more I ask myself??? alot more until we the public refuse to pay it, then they wont be able to raise costs like they do!
