Co2 Chart
A gallon of gasoline weighs just over 6 pounds. When burned, the carbon in it combines with oxygen from the air to produce nearly 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2). This cannot be reduced significantly by one manufacturer or technology - the way to reduce co2 emissions is to reduce the amount of fuel burned !!
Some vehicle co2 emissions - using gm/km - dont be fooled by ANY figures that are expressed in parts per million or percentage , this is all relative to the total volume of emissions from a vehicle.
Scooter, Aprilia Mojito 150 - 58.7 gm/km
SUVs: Land Rover Discovery 3 - 354 gm/km Land Rover Range Rover - 374 gm/km Hyundai Santa Fe - 252 gm/km Jeep Grand Cherokee - 366 gm/km Volkswagen Touareg - 331 gm/km Hummer H3 - 472 gm/km
Cars: Chrysler 300 - 262-330 gm/km depending on engine Honda Accord - 223 gm/km Mini Cooper - 216 gm/km Toyota Prius - 104 gm/km
Smart Fortwo CDI - 92 gm/km |
