London tripling daily ‘gas guzzler’ fee to $49
updated 3:18 p.m. MT, Tues., Feb. 12, 2008
LONDON - Drivers of gas-guzzling cars will have to pay nearly $50 a day to
enter central London, triple the current charge, while the most fuel-
efficient vehicles will get a free ride, the mayor said Tuesday.
Mayor Ken Livingstone, who introduced the daily congestion charge on trucks
and cars entering central London in 2003 to cut traffic and pollution, said
the change is primarily aimed at the big cars owned by people in wealthy
parts of the capital.
The mayor, who has the power to make the change without legislative
approval, said it will go into effect Oct. 27.
"The CO2 emissions from the most high-powered 4x4s and sports cars can be
up to four times as great as the least polluting cars," he said, referring
to carbon dioxide emissions, which are tied to global warming.
Livingstone said that 17 percent of the cars that visit central London each
day — or about 33,000 — will pay the $49 charge, while 2 percent will go
free. The remaining 81 percent — and trucks — will continue to pay the
current $16 fee.

Good! That means that that beater of yours that gets 17 gallons to the
mile will be taxed right of the road and into the junkyard where it
belongs.

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5
years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in
cause i was sure he was lying. No way the SL on this wide open
stretch could be 25, i thought."

I've always liked Ken, even thopugh he was a bit strange at
times. I think that he is one of these guys, Like Harry
Truman, who people will admire more as time goes by.
