Less than 10% of the world's population owns a car (depends on who you believe but around there) so this helps the problem, then there a bunch of people that own cars and don't regularly drive them.
I agree this is being driven by the world's governments, much like most other environmental regulation and I can understand the irritation by some to spending our money this way (not sure if I agree with it or not).
There wasn't a huge public demand to go out and buy cars with catalytic converters when they came out either but I think it turned out to be the right thing to do.
