the greens should concentrate on the energy/fuel companies using more alternative sources and tax or penalise them if they dont. Not tax the ordinary who has little choice.
You obviously don't have to drive very far.As regards transport I would go with the idea that car tax is scrapped altogether and that this charge instead goes onto the fuel so that those who travel the most and hence pollute the most pay the most.
Of course that's the most sensible idea (like France does, no car tax, just fuel tax) but try and get the government to agree to that.As regards transport I would go with the idea that car tax is scrapped altogether and that this charge instead goes onto the fuel so that those who travel the most and hence pollute the most pay the most.
Well the point is that if you do drive a lot you are using the roads the most and so should pay the most. Seems pretty fair and obviousYou obviously don't have to drive very far.

.not for those you have to drive because they bought out in the comuter belt but for instance sales reps.

Sure. I live in France and own a car. Petrol is around €1.53/l (I think) and diesel is €1.39/l (that's what I use)Is that true about France?
I'm sure they don't. What's you solution? If people can't afford certain things others should subsidise them?I don't think anyone chose to not be able to afford prices of houses nearer the city...
So how come Diesel is 10c a litre more expensive than petrol here in Ireland? We're paying above 1.40 here, and we pay car tax and VRT. To think they are thinking of bringing in another tax - maybe I'll move to France! What's it like over there, diarmuidc? Would you recommend the lifestyle?Sure. I live in France and own a car.

I think the taxes applied to fuel is different between the countries. I wouldn't move to France to avoid tax (the opposite in fact)! Nice lifestyle though.So how come Diesel is 10c a litre more expensive than petrol here in Ireland? We're paying above 1.40 here, and we pay car tax and VRT.
