    Hi Guys,

    looking at getting a diesel 4x4 and trying to find out how much road tax would be on various models, but when i look it up on the government website there doesn't seem to be a petrol/diesel split. I did think diesel was cheaper was i wrong? :o

    Yes you are wrong I'm afraid.

    Diesels tended to become cheaper in July 08 due to the fact they generally have lower c02 emissions - but based on CC they are taxed the same

    July is correct. Vehicles registered between Jan and July are only Co2 based if cheaper than CC.

    Yes I was pleased to find my May 2008 Citroen 1.6HDI got the lower rate when I moved here from the UK last year... damn could have had a 2.0 litre...
