Yebbut at least a 60mpg car is still better than a gas-guzzling super-huge six-pot. Trying to get people to change their ways is a damn sight more viable an approach than wiping out cars. All those figures allow for overlap between categories, as I said.

Incidentally, the countryside is severely underpopulated. That is partly to do with modern mechanised and chemicalised farming methods and partly to do with completely useless rural public transport. My nearest railway station is an hour away. An hour only if I drive my car there. I can't even contemplate trying to get there by bus. I could just about do Exeter St Davids, nearly sixty miles away, with my bus pass, if I can spare just over two hours and go at extremely limited times. You take my car and the countryside gets abandoned.
