Where in Europe is that?

In Ireland, displacement-based taxes were replaced by emission taxes 14 years ago. I think most countries have followed suite.



Which is a much better system. My country (Portugal) still does mostly displacement, and a turbo-charged 1 liter pays a lot less than a naturally aspirated 1.6 hybrid, despite the former consuming 50% more gas.


Romania, but neighboring countries have similar systems.

Oh, please stop using Romania as an example for Europe. We're the banana country here.
