In Europe the issue of gas guzzling vehicles is being taken seriously in an attempt to crackdown on carbon emissions. The average new car in 2012 will have to emit no more than 120 grams of carbon per kilometer. The voluntary agreement in 1998 by car manufacturers to reduce emissions by 25% by 2008 have failed. To give you an idea of the limits, a 5 door Ford Focus 1.6 litre emits 184 grams per km. A Range Rover Sport V8 emits 376 grams!
A spokesman for European Automobile manufacturers said the proposals would make higher fuel consumption vehicles prohibitively expensive - yeah!, a step in the right direction.
