The average fuel efficiency for passenger vehicles in the U.S. is 22 mpg. When one gallon of gasoline is burned in an internal combustion engine (ICE), ~19.6 lbs of CO2 gas is emitted from the exhaust pipe to the Earth’s atmosphere, as a Green-House-Gas (GHG) emission. Calculate the total number of pounds of CO2 gas emissions for the average passenger vehicle, that is driven 15,000 miles per year, with a fuel efficiency of 22 mpg. Show all work.
