Aha, thanks for that.

When I read the original article it did seem a bit counter intuitive but it was still interesting.
It’s good to read the reply.

What is it they say about lies, damned lies and statistics.

I don't believe that.
I was told that in the 'future' we'd all have rocketpacks, it's the 21st century and I don't have one yet.

Funny thing the mention of rocket packs... reading this week's Autocar, I really felt my childhood vision of the automotive future had arrived with the Renault Twizy ZE.
