Save Fuel and Carbon for a Greener Future
‘March 04, 2007’
We Americans drive an average of 10,000 miles per year, per person (passengers included). Unfortunately, most of our cars are not very efficient.
The U.S. has the worst fuel efficiency of any country producing cars. Most of our cars get around 20 miles per gallon, which means that each mile driven produces one pound of carbon that’s pumped into the atmosphere.
That will add up to 10,000 pounds of carbon per year. So for every 5 mpg better fuel efficiency your car gets, you cut your carbon output by 300 pounds.
