For what it's worth 310 g/km CO2 although it failed its last MoT on emissions so must have been better than that.Comment

That'll be £35 road tax then, I've thought about getting a small diesel to deprive the government of tax revenue but that would be like giving in, can't win.Originally posted by Halo Jones View Post119 here - its only a little car
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

280 g/km in standard spec - with my super charger on - I am not sure but most likely a lot more - it gives 30% more bhp - lets estimate 380 g/km

292g/Km
I have excuses though as my car was just bought for fun and at most 8000 miles a year.

I always fill the tank for my diesel with leaded petrol from the local specialist vintage cars garage. If you can't damage a few kids' brains when driving there's no fun in it.bloggoth

Because of the limited number of stations available for me to watch I had the ‘pleasure’ of watching pimp my ride on the German MTV channel. They had governor Arnie on it saying how they needed to pimp a car and make it environmentally friendly. What they did was take a 42 year old rust bucket and put a 6.2l engine from a truck in it - good luck to the poor sod owning the car - lets hope he lives close to the one and only diesel pump in California. There resulting car could out accelerate a lambo and did 25mpg! That's the yanks idea of environmentally friendly but it was ok because it used bio diesel which came from seeds apparently!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

As I am bored I decided to have a go at working out what someone flying to Gevea weekly would produce in CO2 compared to someone driving 40 miles a day in an average-ish family car. Tony, I know you fly to Geneva and this is not a dig at you because for a start I don't beclieve all this crap - just though i would do a comparison.
Plane
According to this site, the amount of carbon produced flying LHR to GVA is 0.19 Tonnes, 938 miles travelled, cost to offset
£1.62
Now, if 100 people are on that plane then each passenger produces 190 Kg /100 = 1.9Kg.
This does not state the type of plane used, its capacity,etc.

Car
A car producing 169 g/km (Audi A4 avant 2.7TDI) travelling 40 miles one way is 400 miles/week which is 248 km. 248km * 0.169Kg/Km = 42 Kg.
If it was of equal distance (938 miles) 582 Km * 0.169 Kg/Km = 98.3 Kg.
Shirley not. Can someone check my working out as I think there is something not quite right there.Comment
