A car does 17000 km/year. One litre of fuel has mass 0.84 kg. Due to inertia when starting, kinetic energy required to reach a fixed speed and rolling resistance, all increasing with increased mass, 0.4 L /100 km of exrta fuel are used for every extra 100 kg of mass. If the fuel is 86% carbon, and this is entirely oxidised to form CO2 during combustion, how much extra CO2 is emitted per year if the car is driven with an average of 35 L of fuel rather than an average of 15 L? Atomic masses of C and O are 12 and 16 respectively.
