rogets Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Are people who own hybrid cars tax avoiders? At the petrol station I saw a bloke fill up his car for £35 and no doubt will get to drive 500 miles, maybe 600 for £35 But the bloke behind him filled his car up for £125 Bearing in mind the impact cars have on the planet i did feel the guy paying £125 was paying a fair price for the damage his car will do But the hybrid car owner is surely deliberately avoiding his tax obligations and wrecking the environment at the same time. So would it not make sense to make anyone who drives a hybrid pay a penalty of £1000 every year to make up for their deliberate method of paying their fair share.

geared Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 How will the Hybrid car driver manage 500 miles on just 35 quid?? Is this assuming they are able to re-charge their batteries for free every 30 miles or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eater Sundae Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Should people who run small fuel efficient cars have to pay an additional tax so that they don’t get cheaper motoring than people who drive large gas guzzlers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If the car does 80mpg then 6 gallons X 80 miles is 480 miles Very rarely do these cars do 80MPG, some of the larger ones struggle with 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
