"Every mile you drive your car puts one pound of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere -- where it will remain forever.
Short Summary:
1. Petroleum is just long strings of Carbon atoms.
2. A gallon of gasoline weighs about 6 pounds.
3. Combustion removes 12 pounds of Oxygen from the atmosphere and replaces it with
18 pounds of Carbon Dioxide.
4. The average car gets approximately 18 miles per gallon (plus or minus 5 miles per gallon).
5. Do the math yourself.
