• road tax 14 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I know its an old old chestnut but why don't we scrap all this road tax and pricing and just tax fuel? If you don't drive much then you save, if you have a guzzler you might lose but there would be no tax dodgers and you have some freedom on how much fuel to use.

• Civic 1.8 VTEC - Poor fuel economy after little use for 12mths 1 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  I filled up to 3/4 of a tank and have done around 120 miles but now I'm showing as less than 1/4 left. Which seems like I have used a large amount of fuel? Could be wrong but I was surprised. According to the trip I'm doing 52mpg... Car has only done 280 miles since the last service in march 20. Has anyone else experienced this ? I don't know if it's one of those things where because it has not been used the plugs need changing or water in the tank/piped meaning poor fuel economy?
