Today, the car is still important to many people, contrary to what some would have us believe, starting with the government authorities. This is especially true for those who live in rural areas and who need to travel, for example, for shopping. However, more and more cities want to ban thermal cars, like Paris. It also annually organizes the Day without a car, which was held on Sunday, September 18. But what would happen if everyone stopped driving for a whole day across France? Such a question is asked by the NGO Transport and environmentwho has done research on the subject.

Strong influence
One of the main effects of this operation will obviously be a reduction in fuel consumption. According to the study, a car-free day in Europe would reduce annual demand by 3-5%. It may not seem like much, but to be honest, it’s still not bad. In fact, it more or less corresponds 534-932 barrels of oil in one day A wide assortment, which depends on the size of the cities. So that will reduce demand a bit, which may also affect the price paid at the pump, which may drop a bit. But this, obviously, is not the only advantage of such a day.

Many benefits
Indeed, and again according to the report, one car-free day per week will also reduce noise pollution in large cities to about -10 dB. Air pollution will also decrease and air quality will improve. It would also encourage motorists to be more physically active, such as walking or cycling. It will also increase social interactions and even improve the economy.
in #Bioethanol produced in Europe reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 70% compared to gasoline.
Superethanol-E85 also reduces particulate matter emissions by 90%.
