Mazda2 as an Environmentally Friendly Car from Perrys Mazda

Buying a new vehicle has more implications than initially thought. Fuel efficiency plays a massive part in the running costs - and as such these should be considered when choosing the perfect car for you.

May 25, 2012 - PRLog -- CO2 emissions refer to the release of Carbon Dioxide in the exhaust gases of a car, and are a good measure of the amount of fuel a car is burning. The g/km is a measure that quantifies the weight of Carbon Dioxide released for every km that the car has driven and so makes it a good measure of the Fuel Economy of the car. Thus, more CO2 released over the same distance means more fuel is being used.

For the general consumer, this means that we need to take into account the average mileage we are likely to do before purchasing a car. This is obviously because, the more mileage we do and the lower the fuel economy of our car, the higher the cost of fuel will be over the course of the year. For example:

Annual Cost = (Annual Mileage/Fuel Economy) x Cost of Fuel

The new Mazda2 has been classed in category B-C depending on which specification is chosen. The new Mazda2 models are 100kg lighter than its predecessor; as such this has massively improved fuel economy and the effects it has on the environment. An emissions figure of sub 100 g/km would be considered very good and above 200 g/km is very high. The lower the CO2 output, the lower car tax band and environmental impact.

A Mazda2 1.3 3dr Tamura has emissions of 115 g/km meaning it is a green, low emission new car. This also means further costs are reduced such as road tax to a yearly cost of £30 and the cost of the London congestion charge, which is significantly reduced for lower emission vehicles. It is also being proposed for vehicles with CO2 emissions of less than 120 g/km will be exempt, but this is still in discussion.

If you are looking for an efficient vehicle which is likely to have low running costs, then a Mazda2 could be the perfect choice.
