Measurements for 1982 Mercedes W123 diesel with climate control:
Using the frequency weighted Tri-Field meter, I get less than .2 milligauss
at chest of driver and passenger idling or driving. At the steering wheel
it's
a little higher. At the gas pedal it is 8 milligauss. On the passenger
side
the knee area is also a few milligauss unless the ventilation systems is
off.
Another thing to think about, some cars shield power line fields better
than others. I'm not sure if it matters, but if you drive in an area with
power lines you could get 10 milligauss
or more from that, but it's going to lower in a car with a heavy steel
roof.
I wish I could think of a way to compare cars including this.
I guess you could get a logging meter and drive the same route with
different
cars.
