Citroën's congestion-charge-beating lineup
With a new possible increase in London's Congestion Charge being discussed, Citroën is reminding people that there are "No fewer than 23 models in Citroën's current line-up could become exempt from the London's Congestion Charge, if Mayor Ken Livingstone's proposals, announced in full today, get the green light."
If you want to avoid the £25 per day charge (for the largest CO2 emitters), and like the Band B and A size, you can drive Citroën's C1, C2, C3 or C4 models and drive into London without paying the new Congestion Charge, should it go into effect. As we mentioned yesterday, the Smart ForTwo diesel and VW Polo Bluemotion would also fall into the drive free category. If you want to find out what band your vehicle is in, try this site.

The data on the tax band identification site you link to is outdated. Use it only to identify the CO2 ranges for each band and then head to the manufacturer's website for details on how much the current engine options actually emit.
Citroen C2s and C3s all come with idle stop technology standard these days, at least in the UK. The 110hp 1.6L EGS diesel option for the C3 and C4 came in at exactly 120 gCO2/km, putting it just within band B. It is therefore indeed exempt from London's congestion charge of GBP 8 per entry.

The data for that site is actually directly based on the official VCA figures released a couple of months ago, so it is up to date as far as the "official" figures count.
