London Congestion Charge increasing

From the 16th of June 2014, drivers venturing into central London will have to pay more for the Congestion Charge.

An increase of £1.50 means the daily fee is set to rise to £11.50. There’ll still be a £1 discount if the CC Auto Pay scheme is used, but leave it until the next day to settle up and the cost is going to be £14 instead of £12 currently.

The annual CC Auto Pay registration charge is staying at £10 per vehicle.

Transport for London has also announced some other Congestion Charge changes that it is planning to implement in late 2015.

These include the introduction of a Direct Debit billing option for CC Auto Pay customers and a facility for those who have paid in advance to change their travel date (although the latter is due to cost £2.50). Furthermore, eligible journeys by NHS staff and patients will be reimbursable regardless of the payment method chosen.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
