 Green and alternative fuel cars are whats on everyones mind. It may not be to save the environment though. For most people, green cars are a way of having that warm feeling inside, more money in the pocket and also being part of the green culture thats taking over the UK.
Essentially, a green car is one that does not pollute as much compared to other cars. It is measured in terms of the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) released into the atmosphere in grams (g) for each kilogram (kg) of exhaust fumes produced.
For information on how much CO2 your car produces, choose your car make and model from the car technical data page.
