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

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

OT, I know..

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

Which isn't exactly punitive, but it's always nice to not pay at all

And I do agree that UK road fuel is too expensive...

Not at all sure I do, though it does make me pause to reflect before
filling a 20-gallon tank.

At least my car, unlike its military aviation namesake, doesn't leak
fuel all over the place (the Supermarine Scimitar was notorious for
that).

Desperately trying to introduce some r.a.m topic into the thread.
