Four Pounds every Five Miles

The average automobile gets a little over 25 miles per gallon.   Every gallon of gasoline burned puts 19.2 pounds of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.   Therefore, for every 25 miles driven, you have just put over 19 pounds of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere -- forever.   Every 100 miles you drive, you put almost 77 POUNDS of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.  This is almost 4 pounds for every 5 miles. - OR- almost "a pound a mile" (if you have an old car).  Phenomenal.

We all share the guilt.
