    Thats all well and good for car drivers....But it would cost more for us bikers in the long run as an extra few cent on petrol will end up costing more than €75 a year on motor tax

    I commute forty miles a day on my bike and use 24 litres of fuel/week. If the tax on fuel was increased to €0.05c to cover road tax that would be €65/year for me. I have two bikes and three cars and I'm tired of paying tax on idle vehicles. For once I agree with Kamikazi <looks outside for flying pig - nope none there...>

    With "Buffo" as taiseach the fuel increase would be considerably more than 5c....they already taxed petrol in the previous budjet, increased it by 10c a litre !!! And thats not even considered as a road tax....If they where to increase petrol prices and abolish car tax, i would expect at least a further 10c increase per litre ( Only a 5c increase would result in a huge loss of revenue )

    But for the likes of you who own several vehicals it would work out cheaper.....Unfortunatly only a small minority of people have the luxery of owning several vehicals, and majority always rules......

    It would prob be fair to reduce motor tax by 50% and increase petrol by 2 or 3c

    Personally I'd like to see motor tax abolished in place of a few cent extra on every litre of fuel, the more you use the more tax you pay, simples.

    That's far too sensible a solution for this government though.

    always thought that was the way to go, but what would they do with the 600 (?) people who process the existing system, probably just pay them as usual like they did with the disbanded health boards
