4WD Council rate increases

[Brackez]

I'm curious about what people think of the proposed increase in parking costs from some Sydney local councils for owners of large 4WDs/high fuel consumption vehicles.

I know this may not appear to be an issue that will affect most performance import drivers, but with fuel consumtion being discussed as a means of scaling the rate increases I would like to hear from any one who knows how they will determine a car's fuel consumption. If it's by registered vehicle type/engine capacity etc, no problems but are they likey to consider modifications or test individual cars? Could be an issue down the track if they do.
