The research team said a mandatory imposition of filters on all vehicles was premature.
They will allow local government to make a small charge for the most poluting vehicles, will.probably increase diesel fuel cost, will change company car rules for BIK, and capital allowances for vehicle purchases. But probably by a small amount at first but signalling yearly increases in future.
What they cannot do, (at least I'm hoping they can't) is penalise vehicles that comply with the current highest standard, because that's really unfair if alternatives do not exist.
a - they've just won an election with an unassailable majority and want to get it over with while there's still five years until the next one.
or
b - they can convincingly blame the need to do it on the last government of the other party.
Since both of those things are likely to be true soon, you just have to hope that they won't.

acceleration will be in the direction of that vector
Acceleration is the outcome of the force vectors acting on masses, you don't have more than one acceleration fighting against each other
Engineering lecturers often struggle when explaining maths and physics
66mpg and Honda are super reliable (apparently)....!!
Their Jazz does 53mpg (petrol!) but it's not the same...
Damn...............

I bought my diesel anticipating 30k a year, but have so far not needed to
I do ~15k a year. Petrol bill o old Focus was about £200 a month which I wanted to bring down. 37mpg on that.
The Skoda 1.4 petrol averages 47mpg but I get 60mpg peak to work and 51mpg back (uphill). Out of a petrol!!
Shame it's boomy on the inside - hurts my ears - has to go!!

with different values of a (in different directions)
In general I concur that acceleration is the outcome and is a single vector that results from the various forces acting on the mass.
If you're doing 15K a year, that's about 320 litres of petrol in the Skoda or 225 litres of diesel in the Honda, roughly - saving 95 litres at about £1.20 a litre, ie £114 a year… basically peanuts.
If you were doing huge mileages or looking for a type of car where diesel is the only (or only sensible) option, it would be different - but you're looking for a small-ish standard car, the very type where diesel has no advantages other than a tiny bit of fuel economy, and a whole lot of disadvantages - not least that if they do go wrong for something engine-related, they're almost always a lot more expensive to repair than a similar petrol - this from my garage mechanic.
There's also the strong possibility of much greater depreciation as diesel becomes unpopular - or maybe even penalised in places like Edinburgh - and it could end up costing you much more than that tiny saving in fuel cost.

I think my mileage is marginal for diesel (not much more) but the sort of car I want/need isn't available in petrol unless you're willing to spend 50% more.
If this where a banked track on the side of a hill, You would have to calculate g1= gravity component of gradient and g2 gravity component of the bank angle.
The resultant acceleration will be zero when all the forces balance themselves out. Otherwise you fall off the track.
9.8m/s^2 is the resulting acceleration (assuming no other forces).
It's much simpler to work in forces, then once you've combined all the forces you work out the resultant acceleration.
But what if m is changing and when you get into rockets g also changes with altitude.
What you may want to find out is, What is the force I need to exert in direction X/Y/Z to ensure I stay the same speed.
-> Just need to choose the right petrol!

The old one was good this one is bloody brilliant.
The old model..... not keen on the rear bar... and the seat is too high... I keep bumping my knees off the steering wheel.
Plus, their headrests tilt forward too much.
But the 2017 looks good.
What about Mazda 3/6? The only thing I've read is they can be noisy. I might have to bite the bullet am get an A3 with this same amazing TFSI engine.
