Yeah I wouldn't buy a petrol shortly after Y reg! My 110bhp diesel focus costs £30 to tax. The 75bhp petrol fiesta costs £205... 
Fortunately petrols have got a lot more efficient in the last few years so tax has come down on those too. Not that it'll matter by 2017, new cars will all have a flat rate tax again.
