Alright, I'll continue the thread drift; can someone fill me in on how diesel cars are so bad that cities are looking at measures to ban them?
Diesel CO emissions are half of petrol, diesel particulates (the sooty stuff?) is the same, but their NOx levels are slightly higher.
I believe the NOx / CO difference is down to the difference in the chemistry of petrol / diesel burn, but I'm open to being educated.
