    Just read this on BBC News app and thought you would be interested. Bear in mind is a bit lengthy and is British, referring to European standards, BUT the results are the same wherever you might be.

    I'm really struggling with Prius Chat today and can only hope this gets through all the hoops.

    excellent article!
    after spending the week end in new york city, i can well relate to this.

    unfortunately, something like this would be all too confusing for government officials sort out, especially with the strong arm of lobbyists at their sides.

    i think the comments about electric vehicles is a bit of a straw man, because all cars throw up dust and have tyre wear on top of their tailpipe emissions. and ev's have much less brake wear than gassers.
