Big Car, Big Fee


From The New Zealand Herald:

A London council is planning to charge residents who drive gas-guzzling cars significantly more for permits to park outside their homes in a bid to tackle pollution.

"If you've got an electric car you'll pay nothing, if you've got a small car you might go down by 50 per cent, if you have an average car your charge will probably go down a bit or up a bit," council leader Serge Lourie said.

"But if you've got a large car we'll be charging you significantly more. And if you've got a large Jag, for example, you'll be paying 200 per cent more."
