UK Budget 2008: Higher tax for 10 in 10 drivers
The motorist is being penalized by higher vehicle duty and daily fuel rises. My local garage, the cheapest in the area is now charging £1.179($2.34)(EUR 1.48) per ltr. for diesel and £1.129($2.25)(EUR 1.42)for petrol. This photo shows the price as of February 11th, 2007. Tax contributes 72.8% of the total cost.
The full scale of the clampdown on middle-class motorists has become clear after it emerged that nine in 10 cars will be affected by higher rates of tax under plans announced in the Budget.
Analysis shows that over the next two years, millions of drivers will face soaring bills as road tax on some popular family models doubles.
However, duty on Rolls Royces and Porsches will rise by less than the typical family saloon - undermining claims that the taxes are meant for gas guzzlers. How much your car will be charged under new tax bands

Gas prices is horrible. Who wouldn't feel err 'bout it? A lot of drivers nowadays are striving really hard to save gas and best fuel mileage by means of hypermiling. Our driving style has a big impact on fuel economy and by changing it, at least we improve by 37%. There were lots of hypermiling techniques that we can do. The most important one is just to brake the right way. And car maintenance.
