Mine is 145 g/km .... diesel van.

Interestingly, most new[er] diesels have higher emissions.....
Mine runs a biodiesel mix (33%) and smoke emission is at least 25% lower than for pump diesel...

Very useful site.

Perhaps we should have a competition to find the most bog-standard car possible with CO2 above 225 g/km.

Not really surprising though.

Many newer models are larger and heavier than their earlier equivilant (safety features?) Parked side-by-side a late model Golf is pretty much the same size as my old Range Rover!

Modern "Harmfull" emission reduction technologies actually reduce engine efficiency (EGR etc)

for comparison, Montego 2.0 Turbo diesel was good for nearly 60MPG on a good day without a computer in sight (I believe some even managed to get 100 under test track conditions) and the performance wasnt too bad either.

It is a mistake to think that all this techicrap has actually made things better!

It was only about the same weight as today's Vauxhall Corsa though

Our two Saabs (2002 9-3 Aero HOT Conv Auto and 2001 9-5 SE 2.3t Estate Auto) are 246 and 256 respectively
