Really? I didn't know that as bikers we were entitled to cheaper fuel. All these years I've been paying the same as car drivers. ;DOriginally Posted by dan_geoghegan
If you're talking about fuel economy then you couldn't be more wrong. Bikes are light years behind cars when it comes to emissions and economy.
An average car e.g. bmw 320d will do around 60 mpg, road tax £30 per year
An average bike e.g. cbr 600 will do around 40 mpg, road tax £76 per year
There are cars now that are so economical that they don't pay road tax.
If you then factor in passengers the cost of running a car compared to a bike per head is not even comparable.
Which is why I ride my bike for fun, not the inconvenience.[/quote]
If you've got a CBR 600 you've been paying the wrong tax too it's £55 for 12 months, £30.25 for 6 months.
