The answer is that DVLA in their wisdom introduced some new categories a few years ago:
PC = Petrol Car DC = Diesel Car
These categories basically only apply to cars registered since the changes were introduced (2005/06 approx.).
If you have an older car which had "PLG" in its tax disc, then that car will continue to be classified "PLG" at each tax disc renewal.
There are one or two exceptions, i.e. alternative fuel vehicles, or cars taken off the road for a period of time etc etc, but given that most of us drive either petrol or diesel cars, the only change you would notice is either PC or DC on your tax disc.
Hope this helps?
