w1cul 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 if your wanting higher mpg, get a car If i needed a car i would'nt have asked.....blonde i may be, stupid i aint I am crap with maths though ....would the high cost of road tax for new models not outweigh or equal the cost of better mph? MOLL. I have a new shape l200 animal and get 35 mpg and road tax is only £118.00 a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
