A Dumping Ground for Inefficient Cars

New research by the Australia Institute shows that $5.9 billion in fuel costs would have been saved and emissions equivalent to a year’s worth of domestic flights would have been avoided, if robust fuel efficiency standards were adopted in 2015.
This was recorded on Wednesday 17th August 2022 and things may have changed since recording.
