Is this the latest Government line? I wondered how long it would be before they would need a new reason to tax some more.

I seem to recall when I bought my diesel RAV4 that a major deciding factor was that road tax was significantally cheaper than for a petrol car of similar cubic capacity because diesel produces less in the way of CO2 emissions.

I seem to recall the diesel fuel duty being reduced because it produced less co2 than petrol.
This would reduce temperatures in 300 years by one tenth of a degree which would obviously save eighteen million babies. Horrible pollution now seemed to be a price well worth paying

Whatever the majority of people are buying that's where the tax will be applied. Unsurprisingly as most cars sold are now diesel, the tax incentive for diesel will be reduced. What is more annoying is the BS PR smokescreen they put out for the reason why. Same would happen if Petrol was the new Black.
