The same amount of co2 will be produced in 32 minutes as it would have been in 27 minutes and 42 seconds at 70mph, So it’s a money making scam.
Funny how fuel consumption is measured in Miles per gallon not Minutes per gallon, if you go faster you will inevitably use more fuel because you are using more energy pushing air out of the way at a higher rate.
However this is nothing to do with pollution, its nothing more than a scam to get money out of the tens of thousands of drivers that will inevitably not slow down just because the speed limit has been changed.
For those that know the A1 just North of Washington services there is a 50mph speed limit along to the Blaydon bridge this has caused to more congestion more frustration no fewer accidents more hold ups especially in rush hour can take upto 1.5 hrs to go along that stretch
Think it is a bad idea as cars often do 40-45 in outside lane even though they can move over into inside
