Also, note that there is 113 pounds of fuel per 500 miles of travel.
So take 113 * 0.2 * 0.85 / 0.27 and you get 71 lbs of CO2 per 100mi of travel.
- throwaway894345 4y agoI don't understand what point you're making. It seems like you're redoing GoldenRacer's math and coming to the same conclusion (100 miles = ~30kg co2) but framing it as a rebuttal?
- ses1984 4y agoYeah, oops, brain fart.
