So yeah, I recon the European numbers have been massaged a bit where Aussie figures are probably less so.
I’m wary about all of this, anytime a government body or efficiency group has a good idea
it always ends up costing the average punter more, I’m surprised they haven’t raised fuel excise
to some ridiculous amount. I’m old, I’m cynical and just tired of all the bull****.

A Mazda cx3 prob averages 9l/100km s in real life.
Have you looked at the average co2 numbers as the years roll by.
Ice cars will be out out of new car sales by the 2029 except for the rich.
Everyone else will buy a possibly dubious and probably Chinese electric car.
Apart again from the rich buying expensive electric car brands.
Again a large part of the population will be stuck with old ice bombs -new cars will not be on their horizon.
I question whether this is the start of the end of the car as a personal mobility device.
