To determine CO2, you can just look at the amount of fuel consumed. That'll get you close enough.

A leaf-blower running for one hour will burn roughly 1/2 gal. of fuel. Ca 40mpg car going from LA to Denver will burn about 25 gallons of fuel.

That car trip will generate around 50 times as much CO2 as the blower

Pretty darn close! It should be well within 90% of the right answer. For a car probably about 99.9%
