Why is the amount of money you have to spend on taxing your vehicle based on emissions? My understanding of road tax, is that it used payable to have use of the roads, to keep up maintenance etc. So why is a Toyota Prius exempt from paying maintenance for the roads it uses, wheras a [...]
I need it for school and please leave a source
Google "Land Yacht" and find out from there. No other vehicle is truly zero emissions.
**EDIT**
OK, so my answer was perhaps a bit flippant.
However, at what point do we say that something with "zero emissions" is "green". Your house may not give off any emissions, but the [...]
I need this for my chemistry powerpoint.
Thanks! [;
yes it does.
but it’s far smaller.
industrial power plants are far more efficient at extracting energy from coal, or oil, or natural gas, than our cars or trucks are.

I have a Peugeot 306 1.9 diesel car. This is 11 yrs old and the handbook says it emits 165g of CO2 per KM. I have a journey of 13 miles to get to work with is mostly extra urban driving at 60mph. How many newspaper /magazine pages would i have to recycle to offset [...]
I live in Texas, I am looking at buying a SUV that was originally sold and titled in California. I have heard that cars that are originally sold in California have different emissions equipment than any other state and that the equipment can actually cause you to get worse gas mileage and add to [...]
Car is a 1994 Buick Skylark, 6 cylinders.
If the NOX is high, it’s more than likely a faulty EGR system.
They have catalytic converters but are there any problems that still need solving?
Basically, the problems in reducing emissions are:
1. Cost
2. Efficiency
3. Carbon oxides
4. Consumers
Catalytic converters use platinum and platinum is expensive. In addition, they can become contaminated by stuff in the fuel (this is one of the reasons that lead isn’t used in gasoline [...]
i really need to know… i couldnt find it .
About 10% worldwide of the *human-caused* portion of the greenhouse effect. That’s an important distinction.
If you want the percentage of the entire greenhouse effect, humans are responsible for about 3%, so 10% of 3% is 0.3%.
A new car today produces 60-80% less pollution than a car in the 1960s, yet air quality has improved less than expected.
What are some possible reasons why cleaner exhaust has not* significantly reduced total emissions from cars?
Meant to say not instead of no, oops.
It is a complex equation.
On the one hand, the pollution that is [...]
i have a 96 mustang and just got a new exhaust with out cats and wanted to know if it will pass inspection
