[Healeys] Your tax dollars NOT working

[Oudesluys]

It is just what could have been expected. I am sure it is more or less 
the same story in EU. It is just the financial gain, not the 
environment, that people are interrested in. What does help is to raise 
the price of fuel substantially and/or attack the manufacturers with 
proper legislation setting adequate milage figures and adapt those 
regularly. Both have had some effect over here, but it could have been 
better.

Normal cars doing around 45mls/US gallon (petrol) on average are fairly 
common, (Ctroen C1, Toyota Aygo/Yaris, Peugeot 107, Honda Civic, Renault 
Megane,). Diesel powered cars can do around 70mls/USgallon on average 
and some can reach 90mls/US gallon, (VW Lupo, Audi A2, Peugeot 307, 
Renault Clio).
These are real figures supplied by consumers, not the industry.These 
figures are from cars from 2 up to 10 years old.
