A few surprises here, namely that PHEVs will pay a lower rate of RUCs, I was under the impression there would be a rebate scheme for petrol purchased.

No revisions to the weight brackets, which I imagine will be necessary before all vehicles eventually go to RUCs.

Given petrol tax and RUC are user pays, as in the more you use roads the more you pay, what would the benefit of toll roads be?
