Default Motorway NOx

If you travel at 60 mph instead of 70, you'll spend 16% longer time
covering a given stretch, will the NOx emission rate per mile be reduced

mile stretch?

Fig 5 of this seems to show under a 10% factor on the NOx between the
relevant speeds

I am not sure that a study of American cars is particularly relevant fo
UK roads. Many petrol V8s and not very aerodynamic body shapes.
