Where the CO₂ emission figure is not a multiple of five, the figure is rounded down to the next multiple of five to determine the level of the charge.

For a bi-fuel vehicle which has two CO₂ emissions figures, the lower of the two figures should be used.

For cars which are too old to have a CO₂ emissions figure, you should identify the CO₂ band based on engine size. If its cylinder capacity is:

• If its cylinder capacity is 1,400cc or less, use CO₂ band 140 
• If its cylinder capacity exceeds 1,400cc but does not exceed 2,000cc, use CO₂ band 175; 
• If its cylinder capacity exceeds 2,000cc, use CO₂ band 225 or above.
