For
every gallon of gasoline your vehicle burns, how much carbon dioxide
goes into the air? |
 |
20 lbs |
|
|
It seems incredible that a gallon of gasoline which weighs
about 6 pounds can produce 20 pounds of carbon dioxide gas,
but it’s true! The carbon dioxide from motor vehicles
contributes to global warming. Vehicles with better fuel economy
burn less gasoline, so driving a fuel efficient vehicle helps
reduce the risk of global warming. |
