Is it just me ?
I'm fed up reading about stella mpg and minuscule co2 emissions on hybrid exec cars, which attract all the relevant benefits of low emission vehicles including full tax allowances for businesses that buy them and low benefit in kind for employees that run them. And yet "real...
Was considering the CLA as a company car but was staggered to find that the BIK tax value is shockingly more expensive than the C Class.
Why is this?? In essence its only an A Class with a boot
Hi, can anyone tell me how i can get written evidence of the correct CO2 Emissions for my van?? I have an ongoing dispute with the DVLA as i believe that the CO2 emissions stated on the V5 is incorrect? Any advice would be useful as i'm sure i'm paying too much for road tax. Thanks

When I bought my new C350 recently I was delighted to discover that despite it having a 3,498cc petrol engine, the published CO2 emissions were 164 g/km, thereby keeping me just inside a slightly lower price category for the annual road fund licence. But even at a higher rate I would still have...

Anyone knows where in Scotland I could do a CO2 emission test for a diesel?
The MOT only do petrol car CO2 test and only smoke test on the diesel.
It need to be somewhere specialized on this.
Anyone has an idea?
Thank you.

Sorry for being a luddite..
Just got my first Merc.. A 2010 C180 CGI Sport BlueEfficiency. Had a choice of 17 inch v 18 inch AMG alloys... Needless to say, went for the 18'. However a bit surprised that the 18' has a higher Co2 than 17'. Luckily it is the same VED band, but begs the...
Hi all
I tried a quick search to see if I could find this to no avail.
The Driver and Vehicle Agency are adamant the CO2 emission for my March 2002 C220CDi Advantgarde estate is 189g/km placing it in the Band J £215 pa car tax band.
I am convinced that the correct CO2 emission figure is...
My E350 (when it arrives) has the sport pack and therefore the 18" AMG wheels.
The Avantgarde has smaller wheels.
Strangely the smaller wheels mean it has a lower CO2 figure.
I am a little perplexed as the 18" wheels put me 1 - yes 1 - gram into the next car tax bracket (which is over...
Folks, hope you are all well.
Does anyone have any knowledge on electirc powered mercedes?

There are often no manufacturer-issued CO2 figures for pre-2001 cars so finding a figure is problematic. Fortunately the Irish Government, ever-efficient in raising import tax revenue, has a CO2 database with figures for older cars

All it needs is a diesel engine capable of running on veg oil/100% Bio or petrol engine running on ethanol (for use in Brazil).

Brabus have launched a new range of tuning boxes that reduce the CO2 emmissions on all CDI engines whilst still increasing power. They are the first to meet the new Euro V regulations for next year.

I have recently heard that the co2 thing is totally wrong when looking at the most damaging gases to climate change. It would appear that during the earths hottest periods co2 is at its least and when the earth is coldest co2 is at its highest.
This is contradictory to what we are all being...

New cars are now being graded with regard to emissions, HERE is the DfT list of the best ten in each catagory.
Anyone buying a new car may want to take heed of these rankings as it may affect taxation and future resale values.
There will be a FUEL ECONOMY GRADING on the windscreen of new cars.
