Planes Trains and Automobiles

A recent report by Lancaster University shows that in terms of fuel efficiency cars, yes, cars are the most efficient form of transport in the UK.

"I know this will generate howls of protest, but at present a family of four going by car is about as environmentally friendly as you can get."

It gets worse for the eco-warriors. Trains are even less fuel efficient than short haul aircraft.

Friends of The Earth expressed surprise at the findings, which it said were not in line with previous studies.

Bwahahahahah.

  1. Tim,
    Thanks for your comment. I’m having fun looking through your site right now and love some of the stuff on there – particularly about the fuel affimcienvy of cars. I have some similar figures somewhere which I probably need to publish – they state that cars are also far more economical in terms of overall road space used and nastier pollutants like Nitrogen dioxide – which buses spew out by the tonne.
