I'm sorry, but it's not possible to know how many fewer people would die each year in the entire country if we did not drive gas-powered cars. It's not possible to tie a case of lung cancer to the fact that cars exist. "If only we drove electric cars charged by solar plants, grandpa would have lived 7 more years!" No, it doesn't work that way. Even if you strapped masks to everyone's face that measured the fumes they breathed from birth to death, you couldn't make a statement like, "If we didn't use fossil fuels, Bob Smith would have lived 5 years longer." By the way, how about the greatly increased life expectancy brought on by the amenities of modern life made possible by the use of fossil fuels? You know, abundant varieties of food in-and-out-of season, medicines, transportation, HVAC, communciations... the list goes on and on. If you want to go back to the frontier lifestyle, be my guest. People didn't live very long back then, and life was very hard.
