On the carbon offset site( http://www.co2balance.com/pages.php?pageid=109 ) this can be offset at a cost of at £13.50

so why is the difference between band C and band F = £90???

Ok a bit simplistic , but does it show how us motorists are being ripped off?
Yes we are all being ripped off in the name of 'global warming'
