The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

Jokes on them, still using an SUV from 2001 over here.

2007 diesel pickup here. It's even a two seater with a long bed so an actual work truck. Basically makes me a saint compared to those evil SUV drivers.

Meanwhile here I am driving a little 2L manual fiesta (ST150/XR4). Not great, but not bad mileage, but fun AF to drive, and lightweight. It only has a 45L tank, as opposed to a 60-100L tank you find in larger cars.

Then there's also the fact I only drive on weekends or after work. I use public transportation for my commute to work.
