After fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the impact of polluting emissions

Lately, I participated in inspection days of antipollution systems in automobiles. Those days were very instructive for all those who participated. In fact, the differences between polluting emissions (not to be confused with greenhouse gas emissions) from one vehicle to another can be gigantic. That's why, next week, I expect to illustrate why this program should be mandatory across the country. Certain people simply consider it as a way for mechanics and dealers to make more money, but I couldn't disagree more.

Hot debate in perspective

These days, the new models put on the market are considerably cleaner than the vehicles of the '90s. So, imagine the difference with older models...

Finally, I took the time to read an article written by another Auto123 journalist about a vehicle identical to mine. In his article, he mentioned that the best fuel economy that he achieved was 4.5 L/100 km. It's perfectly normal. That's also what I averaged when I first got my vehicle. And that's why we will soon take the time to film the most efficient driving techniques in order to reduce our consumption.
