Adding to fuel seems the fairest way in my books - use more fuel, pay more taxes  <!-- s:thumbsup: -->:thumbsup:<!-- s:thumbsup: -->

Kinda like the argument as long as company vans, trucks etc arent penalised.........extra duty on fuel would crucify businesses

Good point, and being a business owner with vehicles I would of course be penalised and feel the pain.

I suspect it's not quite as easy as it may appear which is why you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Damn it, will just have to fit 13" rims and chop the roof.........

Actually, they must be tall as a friend of ours almost fell out of the car today as she didn't realise it was a higher position than her Chrysler Voyager.
