CO2 emissions - do you know your car's figures?

[DrYazz]

Like most people on here, I like my cars. Own quite a few too.
Tend to know quite a bit about their stats/ figures also: bhp, max torque, top speed, 0-62.5 mph and 0-100 mph times, dry weight, dimensions, price when new, etc, etc, even fuel economy figures.

What I do not know, have never looked up, nor am interested in is how much CO2 per km the cars put out. Just don't care. Could be 0.724, could be 7 million. Would not have a clue.

I don't pay company car tax. If you don't either, does anyone here actually CARE how much CO2 their cars emit?

Only for tax reasons. Otherwise I couldn't give a crap.

private cars and don't give a crap about how much CO2 they use.

They don't use much CO2 - the fuel prefers O2 to burn. They emit CO2.

That was your 1st science lesson - hope you enjoyed it.

To be honest i don't know and to be honest i don't really care at the minute !

Mine is on the old PLG system so it says 0 on the logbook

Does it include the gas used in welding? That would add quite a bit...

why thanks good doctor, i didn't realise they did doctorates in pedantry. clearly passed with flying colours too.

in my defence, i 'treated' myself to watching the england game in reward for cross training throughout it. i need to go and sit in a freezer for a bit! bet i used plently of CO2 doing that too.

Neither did I. They do one in PEDANTICS though.

Why would anyone give a crap? The whole CO2 scare is farcical, another imaginary hobgoblin to scare the public into behaviour change.
