The official combined cycle figure is 18mpg, and CO2 is 377g/km. But who cares? This car cost £332,400 new but covering a massive(!)

  A Grand Monday: Hyundai Pony 24 Apr 2017 (News)
  Hyundai's first assault on the European car market began in 1976 with the launch of the Pony - a car that was midway between a supermini and a compact hatchback in terms of its size, but was one of the cheapest cars on sale at the time. That first Pony was utterly conventional, rear-wheel-drive, with a live rear axle and a chassis based loosely on that of the Ford Cortina.

  While the Japanese started to get a foothold in the British car market in the 1970s, it was during the 1980s that they really started to punch above their weight, offering cars that were comparable to their European rivals not just in terms of quality, but also in styling and equipment.

  Fat Kids Cause Congestion 19 May 2009 (News)
  In a country where one in ten school children is obese, walking just one mile a day would burn 100 calories, equating to 19,500 calories across the school year. Cars consume most fuel and pollute more at the start of their journey when the engine is cold, therefore, covering short journeys on foot disproportionately reduces carbon emissions. Over the academic year, a single car journeying a three-mile round trip will produce 234 kg of carbon emissions.
