Kendall - it depends on where you're driving. If it's down to the Gas'n'Gulp to fill up on those meatball subs, your emissions could be higher than you think... they don't call it the 'Gas'n'Gulp' because it sells fuel...

I think it is another kneejerk scaremongering tactic, badly interpreted and put about by people who sell new cars. We had a perfectly good car that passed all its' emission tests, that was over 10 years old. It was recycled (i.e., we weren't the first owners) and it's been passed on to someone else now we have acquired a newer vehicle. How many new cars have been produced in the 12 years that particular vehicle has been on the road?
