Either way the Motorist will be shafted by the Government. I was thinking the same as you, What to do ? I eventually bought a Diesel for the cheap Road Tax.

The governments made a total mess of the tax situation, but from what I understand the new rules only effect those cars which don't meet Euro 6 and RDE step 2.

 

So contact VW and see if the car you're interested in meets those standards, if it does you shouldn't have extra to pay.
