Consider a new 4x4 doing the school run. It might well have a cat but until that has warmed up to full heat, it's not going to be very efficient and you may well find that running long distances in old cars is no more of a problem than mums doing the school run in brand new cars. Of course all things being equal, lower emissions are good.
