It does with the Ampera

You are very slow. As the name implies, "hybrid". Full EV in cities
and when you go long distance occasionally the car runs on the genny
and still gets 60mpg.

And I can get 70mpg on a run in a number of small cars

The Ampera is NOT small. Again dumbo, it runs on zero emissions in the
city where we do not need harmful, toxic emissions. For the long range

So what harmful toxic emissions come out of conventional modern cars then?

Nitric oxide, Nitrogen dioxide, Hydrogen sulphide. Carbon monoxide,
Carbon dioxide, Carbon particles, Ammonia, Sulphur dioxide, VOCs +
numerous unburned hydrocarbons. Even with a catalyser.

CO2 is not toxic and neither are the "carbon particles" or the "numerous
unburned hydrocarbons".

You should really learn what the word "toxic" means. Cyanide,
f'rinstance *is* toxic.


Carbon particles can give you cancer. And CO2 does not support life
the last I heard.

Tell that to a plant...
