From Chas Bazeley
The nine-page advertisement feature in your 10 November 2007 issue admits that making lighter vehicles is key to reducing fuel consumption and emissions – but perversely claims that this would make them less safe.
In any sane world, using a car weighing more than a tonne to transport four people or fewer would be considered as repugnant as drink-driving, as would using a car that uses more than 2.5 litres of fuel to travel 100 kilometres.
