Comment on The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

    Still more efficient than the same thing in boxy SUV form.

    I was talking to someone last year and doing 100mph in a 5.0 V8 Mustang he was getting better mpg than 70mph in a Kia Soul (about 25). Make an aerodynamic wagon and you’re golden.

  The Mercedes looks tolerable, although it wouldn’t be the car I would choose for that price. The Audi is downright hideous.
