Madrid bans polluting vehicles from city centre
Fun story. I bought a very fuel efficient diesel car (build: 2001) 3 years ago. It does 94 mpg or 1L per 30KM. Since then, many cities in my country decided to introduce "pollution zones", banning diesels of 2000 and older. My old home city decided to go one step further and ban diesels of 2004 and older. When I visit family and friends, I actually have to actively route around it. Which is ironic, since my car is more fuel efficient then most cars currently produced. But I guess the NOx exhaust also matters (which is much higher with diesels).<p>To be frank, it surprises me that I can go around in my car still <i>at all</i>. Burning diesel to move people should be banned by now, especially with the market flooding with EVs.
