Not quite the same but I won't argue your point.

Don't even presume to know me! I have reduced my driving considerably over the last few years when I used to drive everywhere. I walk whenever possible and encourage my children to do the same. We go for regular walks in the country to get real 'fresh' air. I am well aware of the risks of this sort of fumes from car exhausts.
We agree on the main point of this thread, we even agree to some degree on your point but please don't confuse the two!
