If a car gets 30% more MPG dos it create less pollution than a vehicle with Pollution devices on it that gets 30 % less MPG ?
I have had this debate with my SON in California .I rented a Ford (2015)in Virginia and got 37 mpg average .
He owned one of exact same model and year in California and got 25 mpg ..Question considering the COST of the pollution creating the devices used and the pollution created manufacturing and mining of materials used to manufacture them and extra costs for designer fuel ..Which is less polluting ? When you consider totol pollution created ? never mind the EXTRA COST…I say the car with the better mileage creates less harm..
If a volks diesel gets 30 % better mileage who does m0re harm for the same miles driven?
