It's a shame that younger people, who are struggling with economy and have generally less money, can only buy older cars that need twice as much fuel as a newer, efficient model (or ev that can be zero emission, depending on source of electricity), but also pollute three times as much.

I don't know who shell is trying to fool. No one, especially young people will ever think buying petrol is cool so they should do it more. It's something they hate to do as there is often little choice.
I recommended giving this a watch, exactly about this topic.
Oh good. I was just thinking "Hmm, I haven't tried Fortnite in a long while, maybe I should check it out again." ...Yeah. ...No.
- I love that they always shut down vapes because there isnt evidence for them being healthier than smoking. But from my experience people who vape generally only have a nicotine addiction while people who smoke can barely breathe.
It’s a shell game.
- Shell sports, it's in the game ...of turning tax money into smog
