I have a *very* average Ford Taurus station-wagon, and it has a 3

I know of one european country where the annual tax (I believe you call

car tags in your neck of the woods) on a car with a 3 Litre engine would
be

OTOH the car tax in .uk on my car and its 3-litre engine is zero (0).
Pre-'73 and thus tax-exempt

And the *top* rate of Road Tax on UK cars is GBP165 pa.
