A buddy of mine tells me that the VED rates will e going up next year, seems that unless you're running a car solely off a battery {or an elastic band} there won't be any zero rates, they will be going up to £140 year, that might not be welcome news to the ULEV drivers but it seems that the first year rates will go up from £500 to around £900 for an Audi A6 or the like, but after the first year the rate will drop down to what will be an across the board rate for all non zero cars of £140.

Anyone heard about this, if I've got it right it seems odd that most ULEV's will go from zero to 140 {in 12 months ;-) seems about right} but the cars that pollute the most like my 3.2 Quattro will drop from £500 to £140 ?
