These are the top 10 websites that feature useful information relating to green cars. Because these websites feature this information, it means we don't have to!
1 Road tax rates
Road tax rates keep changing - it's difficult to keep up with it all. Road tax is also getting more expensive, so it's pretty important to make sure you know the rates for your car. See road tax rates at:
www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524
And remember you can tax your car quickly online at http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ - saving all the pain of queuing at the local post office (if you can find one) - taxing your car online is surely one of the most useful things the government has introduced!
