Being someone who can't afford a fairly new car the tax for my 2 litre Renault Laguna goes up all of £15.
So those who can afford to buy a new car get hit the most. Like paying £950 in the first year for a big off roader is supposed to put you off buying a £40,000 car.
Simplest solution is to buy something older, especially something built before 2001, you also lose hardly any depreciation at all.

Remember the highest fuel duty we have ever paid was when the tories were in power, they are all as bad as each other. Duty has been dropping as a percentage ever since, most of the fuel costs is due to the oil companies, and they are all struggling to survive aren't they.
At least we can be thankful we don't live in the Netherlands - petrol is £1.20 a litre, 19% vat and income tax reaching 52%
