    Looking into buying a Honda Accord ES GT 4dr 2009.
    According to Ros.ie VRT cal its Co2 is 138g, => 19% of OMSP
    Autotrader also has it down at 138g
    Parkers.co.uk says it should be 138g: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/honda/accord/saloon-2008/39853/

    BUT the V5 says it is 149g?!?!?
    Also this site: http://carfueldata.direct.gov.uk/search-new-or-used-cars.aspx says its 149g
    Checked the DVLA website and put in REG and again it says 149g.

    Whats the story with this?
    Ive checked a few different Accords on Autotrader with appartently 138g co2 emmisions and put in their REG info and they are all returning the same 149g Co2.

    Does anyone know where why there is a difference?
    Also, the online VRT calculator has the car 138g, will they use this or what the V5 has on it as the factor for calculating VRT??

    Also this website: http://carleasingmadesimple.com/business-car-leasing/honda/accord/co2-emissions/
    Shows a list of Accord models from 2008 and not one of them have a 149g output?

    Could be an older model that was registered after more efficient models were available.
