Diesel cars
The Chancellor Philip Hammond has hinted that diesel cars may face a new tax to penalise diesel drivers, what that will be is unclear, maybe a diesel scrappage scheme, or higher diesel fuel, it will be announced in the autumn budget, if your thinking of buying a diesel car, be warned

Once we have all converted to petrol cars they'll introduce new taxes to penalise them.
Then it will have to be electric cars, and then......
Yes, you've got the picture!

Re: Diesel cars
What a wonderful idea!Slap a tax on diesel, increase the cost of everything.
Almost all delivery vehicles are diesel as are a lot of trains.
Now they want to penalise people for taking Government advice?
I am pretty sure that the infrastructure for electric cars could not cope with a significant increase.

The issue is BMW and others fiddled the figures to make more profits.
Sod the EU, we should be suing them.

It's a disgrace.
People were almost pushed into buying diesels due to the better fuel consumption etc, and then as you say, are now penalised for it.
Makes me bloody fume quite frankly.
