I don’t think that’s what the parent was saying. I think they were referring to the cost of transportation for the consumer, not for the product itself.
The carbon emissions of burning a gallon of gasoline is about 11 kg - that’s an estimate, from a random website, so I don’t attest to its accuracy. It’s just a starting point for the following:
I drive a 2000 Jeep Wrangler that gets 14 MPG. I drive about 20k miles per year, which works out to 1,430 gallons of gas or ~15,500 kg of carbon emissions.
Based on this estimate, my vehicle’s fuel alone is equivalent to 75 10” MBPs per year.
