Just the ticket or parking mad?

Comment

The total amount of CO2 you generate depends on your mileage - not where you park your car. I think it reasonable to make you pay more for parking if your car takes up more room, but not if it uses more fuel. Anyway, it’s not using fuel all the time it’s parked! If you have a gas guzzler, then you will pay proportionally more for your fuel and hence contribute more to the government’s coffers on a mile by mile basis. Surely this is where the funds to combat pollution should come from?
