According to AA website they apply into 2009 or am I reading it wrong...

As kevin says .. and if you wish to read the full story ...

The most important table is the one right at the bottom which shows both old and new bands

remember .. band G . the past 2006 bit NO LONGER EXISTS so can't be quoted ... bands L & M DO EXIST on all cars registered from March 2001

Thanks the link followed to this link

which seems to say it will ramp up over two years.
It's a load of rubbish if I bought an old vehicle giving out just as much pollution if not much more I would be taxed less than half what I will pay. Oh to have the same car but a month older it's hardly fair!

No wonder they need round the clock Police protection - they need it from the general public

Thanks for all the advice everyone is as I suspected, I will look at cashing in my tax disc feb and buying a 12 month at old rate if I'm able.
With Lpg what are the tax costs and is it really worth it on a 120k mile old car?

Cashing in the Tax disc is the best way to delay the inevitable rises... But the money's better in your pocket than the government's!!

As for LPG. As Kevin said, there are quite a few of us who have done it and if you are willing to fit it yourself you should get your money back within about 8-10k miles without any real effort. As for age, mine's a 1999 with about 125k on the clock and I didn't think twice about it! The engine's barely run in

I really hope EVERYONE does this too. With luck, the DVLA will grind to a halt with the extra paperwork and thereafter have a huge peak in the numbers of renewals to cope with on each anniversary.   It'll serve them right.
