It's just another way of raising tax. CO2 is a convenient bandwagon.

Just been reading about the new Merc "Bluetec" diesel which is the latest low polluting job from Germany.

"It was a detuned, more economical version of the E320 Bluetec available Stateside that won Mercedes the ‘World Green Car of the Year 2007’ award. But as the Bluetec system adds a few extra g/km CO2 there’s little scope for the car succeeding in the UK market."

It meets the US Bin 5 standard, and Euro 6..

So Co2 is not the only pollutant but it's a nice little earner for darling Alistair.

Any excuse to gather more taxes seems to be the aim !!

Soon it will be a tax on passengers.
