I have just looked into this too, for obvious reasons.:D

Mine will still be in band F because band G is only for cars registered on or after 23/03/06 and over 225 g/km.

When was yours registered?

I get a discount too because mine is duel fuel.

All this has done to me is to stop me buying a new car, which I can't afford anyway.

Oh, I am sure it has increased the value of mine.

So as far as I understand this, a 2001 2.7T will stay in band F as it was registered before the date?

This is not as bad as I thought as I was going to struggle to justify £400+ for tax.

I really did not want to have to change the car - although moving to a pre-1973 car now looks like an interesting option.

I'm confused now - big time...

The VED site says that the new huge increase will only affect cars registered after 23rd March 2006, so in which case as a 2001 registrant I stay in band F even though the amount of carbon dioxide I emit per km is pretty big.

I cannot justify £400 for tax as well as all the other expenses for driving what is a fabulous car...

I will see if I can get an answer from direct.gov, but I won't hold my breath!

Band G is only for cars registered after 23rd March 2006.

Pre March 2006 cars will remain in band F.

If your car is pre this date it can kick out 500g/km but will only be £210 per year or £195 if you have converted it to lpg ;)

You were right buster - cheers mate!

There is a whole set of new (and very expensive bands) for all cars registered after 23/3/06. Big hikes in the offing for you people!

Maybe its also time to look at LPG conversion...

Bit nervous with a 2.7T though...
