Default New expensive car tax disc ?

Hello all,

Anyone know the implications of the new expensive car tax disc that is
coming, I know that my C5 V6 December 01 will be more costly but will
fitting lpg and having the V5 log book updated make any difference?

TIA

George.

No. Because you get assessed on the manufacturer's emissions estimate
which won't change. So you're looking at £400 a year in VED.

But I just got off the phone with the DVLA and they said you can ask
VOSA to test the car - on LPG and if it is lower CO2, you may be able
to reclassify your vehicle.

I'm hopefully going to contact Vauxhall UK to get them to agree mine
was wrongly classed at first registration so I'm hopefully not going
to be left with VOSA as the only option.
