    I was more refering to engines with the same amount of cylinders... Either way increase in radiator size is going to add weight, and im sure the 330 has more options (sound, wheels, electronics) as well as a different transmission to handle the added torque output (and to bolt to the I6).

    Well all Im saying is displacement alone isnt going to tell you gas milage, and its idiotic to be taxed.

    So they should tax gearing then? Or perhaps weight?

    Why penalise people which want to buy an estate instead of a saloon?

    They shouldn't beat around the bush. If they want to improve gas mileage they should directly tax that, if they want to reduce power, they should directly tax that.
