Seemigly, the rather dubious as well as ugly Toyota Prius doesn't count
Apparently has dodgy petrol fuel consumption that's worse than a good diesel...
Well, that's the impression I had after Top Gear did a fairly thorough hatchet job on it...

I use dino diesel made from dinosaurs. In effect my carbon emissions are zero. Any carbon added to the atmosphere is removed by the next crop of DINOSAURS or whatever....BonceChops wrote:The bio diesel I use is locally produced from waste vegetable oil.

There are two cars, the Honda Insight mentioned above and the Smart Diesel.Homer wrote:On the subject of the new VED rates.
Can anyone name a car on sale in the UK today which fits into band A?

Funnily enough I've never actually seen one of either car and they aren't listed in the back of the current issue of Top Gear either.
"In total, 50 per cent of cars will see their VED frozen or reduced. Three million cars will pay VED of £100 or less."
