Re:How much does air pollution cost the U.S.? by peter303 on Tuesday October 08, 2019 @11:52PM (#21199852)
Its 23 pounds of CO2 per 7 pound gallon of gasoline. Simple chemistry. A (CH2)x unit in gasoline combusts to CO2. Thats an increase from 14 atomic units to 44 atomic units by replacing H by O.

Since the average internal combustion vehicle uses 500 gallons a year, that is about 6 tons of CO2.
