There's one point which most greenies, and the general public, have completely missed.
The CO2 produced per mile is not only a function of your cars MPG. It's also largely dependant on the amount of energy it took to manufacture your car in the first place.
A recent study (can't place reference at the mo) showed that 50-60% of a cars total CO2 budget is spent in the manufacturing.
So, for all those greenies who buy a new, less-polluting car every year - you're doing the worst thing possible. If you really want to be green, drive an old car.
