Help, Europeans! Need Research Paper Info!

[Pbalias]

Hello everyone...

Not only am I a full time Mercedes lover and a shop owner, but also a full time STUDENT! Anyway, to make this brief. I have a paper I need to write and my subject is the heavy taxes European Governments place on vehicles with an engine size greater than 2.0 litre. At least, they do this in Greece and am pretty sure of many other European countries as well. Does anyone have any information as to WHY the governments do this, and maybe where I can find more information on the subject? I figure you guys living in Europe might be able to help me out! I know this was a somewhat "off-the-subject" question, but I figured I'd start here!

MBenz...I am sure you have some input?!?!?

Thanks dearly...
Peter
