乔有兴趣买一辆新车。他筛选出了两辆车，并打算驾驶 10 年。下表包含这两辆车的规格、汽车贷款利率以及适用的道路税。

1. Calculate the annual road tax for Model A using the correct engine-capacity band.

For Model A, $EC=1498$, so $1000<EC\leq1600$.

$\text{Road tax}=[500+0.75(1498-1000)]\times0.782$
$=[500+0.75(498)]\times0.782$
$=(500+373.50)\times0.782$
$=\$683.677$

2. Calculate the annual road tax for Model B using the correct engine-capacity band.

For Model B, $EC=1691$, so $1600<EC\leq3000$.

$\text{Road tax}=[950+1.5(1691-1600)]\times0.782$
$=[950+1.5(91)]\times0.782$
$=(950+136.50)\times0.782$
$=\$849.643$

3. Find the difference in road tax payable.

$849.643-683.677=165.966$

To the nearest cent, the difference is $\char36{}165.97$.
