hometune should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Definitly agree it’s beginning to affect the choice you make when you choose a new car, especially if your paying benefit in kind income tax on a company car. Obviously we are being pushed towards smaller lighter vehicles but beyond that I don’t think the government seem to know what they would prefer to see us driving.
There’s still a higher tax for diesels, even city cars like the polo, and no real benefit for alternative fuels or hybrids if you don’t drive into a city with congestion charging.

I’ve just ordered the car I’ll have for the next four years and from the research I did this time I predict the cars available to me in four years time will be very different to those I choose from this time.

There are some independant web sites listing cars by emissions, Try a google search
