Oh wow a puppet who buys into the global warming BS (isnt it climate change now). and the F word is well justified when describing the greens.

You mean big cars or big engines! On the open road a diesel Mondeo uses the same fuel as a Hyundai i30 (less if loaded with passengers). I know which I'd rather be in. After the Mondeo you can still walk, and won't have been blown off the road by a gust of wind.

what do you call big! falcons are just as economical as some small to medium cars and even somesuv's are getting single figure consumption so where is the point of driving a small car!

Yeah good stuff. Wifie took quite some convincing to go the falcon over a 6, or accord euro sized thing. After a week with the coon she came home and said we ABSOLUTELY bought the right car.

I've got a friend who had a headon in a late model Mondeo. Terrible result for him compared with the guy in the car he hit.

I'll be keeping my 1933 straight eight thanks. It does 21mpg cruising along which is 7.4km/l. Oh, and 50-80km/h in 6 secs in top.

Rotas chew more gas (km/cc) so I assume theyll go first if thats the rationale

I'm hoping I have maybe 20 years of V8 enjoying ahead before the mobility scooter. Fossil fuels will hold out that long at least, I intend burning my fair share.

Says you. Get over yourself. As for Aussie, here's a newsflash - it's an arid, hot country, and has ALWAYS been subject to extreme heat. I can recall 40+ temps when we were living in Melbourne in the '70s.
If you're naive enough to buy into a very obvious political agenda, then that's your funeral - or do you REALLY think politicians and their leftist media flunkies are going from talkfest to talkfest (by plane and limousine might I add, therefore using a crapload of fossil fuels), for your betterment! Really!
The old truism applies - the desire to "save" mankind is always a false front for the desire to RULE it.

AAAHHH The sound of a V8 winding out and hauling arse is Priceless.

People are missing the point. V8 owners typically don't care how much fuel it burns or what the cost is, they just fill up when it's empty and enjoy the road ahead.

the science is firmly in the GW court
the ones denying it have their heads in the sand
ps, the pollies were conspicuous at rio 2012 by their ABSENCE - the event was turned into a JOKE by their staying away
