There is a company that does offer insurance based on miles travelled, but despite several times stating they would 'soon be available in Northern Ireland as well', it's never happened over the course of 3-4 years of checking. Can't remember their name though.

UPDATE: Their name is 'By Miles'. Duh! And they still don't do Northern Ireland despite their underwriters operating here. Might suit people who do long journeys as it's capped at 150 miles per day.

We already pay 57.95p/litre on fuel duty plus 20% VAT on top of that, and the worst thing is that it's the retailers that take the abuse when the price goes up, despite them only getting around 5p per litre sold.
