I make the case that my '74 makes less pollution than the majority of modern cars on the road today. My car isn't a daily driver - more like weekly, and only during a very short summer - and so it only gets driven 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year (5,000 to 8,000 kms). With this limited usage, which is even lower this year, I don't put as much garbage into the air as my 'clean' modern car that gets driven 40k per year. I don't have the specific numbers to support this argument, but in any case the pollution is minimal, in perspective.

After all, there is an environmental cost for generating the electricity going into the super clean electric car, it's just out of sight and out of mind. This helps to clean up the cities, but not the general environment to the extent that most of the public imagines.
