Indeed, that is why a blanket road tax or petrol tax isn't the best way to tax vehicles and road use.
I do use the Fiat five days a week to commute; total weekly milage probably about 100 miles, excluding longer journeys at weekend. That is why I'm looking to change it to something smaller and more suitable for the journeys that I now do. When we lived in Telford we had to travel far further to get to the parts of the country that we needed to get to (e.g. Oxford, Stratford, The New Forest, etc.) We are now more than an hour closer to almost all places we frequently travel to. Also, when I worked in Telford I had a significantly different drive to work, about two miles with no conjestion.
It is quite clear that something like a Toyota Aygo won't do what you need, but it should suit us quite well.
I'd look at changing it sooner, but I can't justify the purchase price of a new car and there are a significant shortage of Aygos on the second hand market at the moment.
