* Based
on 45% highway driving, 55%
city driving, 15000 annual miles
and the price of fuel
used by the vehicle. You may
personalize these values to reflect
the price of fuel in your area and your own driving patterns. The carbon footprint measures greenhouse gas emissions expressed in CO2 equivalents. The estimates presented here are "full fuel-cycle estimates" and include the three major greenhouse gases emitted by motor vehicles: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Full fuel-cycle estimates consider all steps in the use of a fuel, from production and refining to distribution and final use. Vehicle manufacture is excluded.
