On the other point "
Car manufacturers are already bust thanks to relying on 100 year old technology with no improvement in efficiency."
A Model T ford had no ABS, disk brakes, crumple zones, air con, starter motor to weigh it down. With a 20.2 hp (15kW) motor it got 25mpg.
In fact the model T Ford got between 13 and 21 mpg NOT 25mpg or 11 to 18L/100kms.

I get into my with all the heavy mod cons and with a 80kw engine I get 4.8L/100kms.
