How to Calculate Car CO2 Emissions

Vehicle emissions depend on how far you drive and how efficient your car is.

Formula

CO2 (lbs) = (Annual Miles / MPG) * CO2 per Gallon

  • Gasoline produces about 19.6 lbs CO2 per gallon
  • Diesel produces about 22.4 lbs CO2 per gallon

    • Divide pounds by 2,204.6 to get metric tons.

    Exemple Résolu

    You drive 12,000 miles per year in a car that gets 28 mpg.

    1. Gallons used: 12,000 / 28 = 428.6 gallons
    2. CO2 in lbs: 428.6 * 19.6 = 8,400 lbs
    3. CO2 in metric tons: 8,400 / 2,204.6 = 3.81 metric tons
