indeed, and I wonder how many of those deaths were caused by the EU favoring diesel over gasoline.Nearly 9,500 Londoners die prematurely every year as a result of long-term exposure to air pollution, according to a 2015 study by researchers at King’s College London.
It's actually a Series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider, circa 1977. But it uses almost no fuel at all.indeed, and I wonder how many of those deaths were caused by the EU favoring diesel over gasoline.Nearly 9,500 Londoners die prematurely every year as a result of long-term exposure to air pollution, according to a 2015 study by researchers at King’s College London.
And we see from Paul's vignette that (at least in his case) the new tax only applies to small modern gasoline cars which are less harmful to the environment with older, larger, dirtier cars exempt, so the tax will encourage him to do the exact opposite of the presumed intent and drive the older, larger, dirtier cars to avoid paying the tax.
You don't need a car in Singapore. Most city folk don't.
It may be true that most people don't "need" a car and yet most people would benefit from a car in terms of both personal productivity (less time wasted getting from A to B) and greater opportunity (access to more distant jobs, retail, entertainment, friends/family, etc.) In turn, society benefits when individuals have higher mobility.You don't need a car in Singapore.

Not their fault? That's a common mistake: to think that cars make decisions themselves and that you can blame them.Health-damaging pollution is the fault of the car's fuel choice, engine, and exhaust systems, not the car itself.
Partly true, but congestion can also be a sign of a lack of a good public transportation service (clean, safe, cheap) and network, and hence too many cars.Congestion is a sign there too few roads & parking spots, not that there's too many cars.You don't need a car in Singapore.

Unless the public transportation service operates on a network with a much much higher speed limit than the road network, it is ALWAYS inferior on overall A-to-B travel times because each passenger is forced to: 1) wait for the vehicle to arrive, 2) wait as the vehicle stops to pick-up or drop-off other passengers, and 3) to take a longer path often involving multiple connections involving more walking and waiting.Partly true, but congestion can also be a sign of a lack of a good public transportation service (clean, safe, cheap) and network, and hence too many cars.Congestion is a sign there too few roads & parking spots, not that there's too many cars.You don't need a car in Singapore.

We test drove one of those. It made me feel ill. So we got the ubiquitous (around these parts) Discovery instead. Used for children, domestic pets, xmas trees and clothing and toys for charity shops.One of our cars is a 1996 V70 Volvo (350K km) that we use for transporting alpacas, drum kits and trees.
NOT DIESEL.
