UK Chancellor Gordon Brown has rejiggered car tax fees that'll go into effect for all cars purchased after Wednesday, charging vehicles with the highest carbon-dioxide emissions up to 200 quid, while cutting the taxes on those with the lowest-emissions. On the upside, although the tax on beer's gone up a penny, those who'd rather spend the evening staring into a bottle of Tanqueray won't pay more. The message as we divine it? Forget filling the Jeep's tank, just go get tanked yourself.
