The fleet average fuel economy of one car-maker fails to meet the present CAFE target (27.5 mpg) by 3 mpg. As we know, this will incur a penalty of $ 165 per car. Assuming that the first owner of a typical car bought from this car-maker drives it for 100,000 miles before selling it. If the carbon footprint of gasoline is 2.9 kg/litre and 1 US gallon = 3.79 litre how much extra carbon does the car emit? 5264 kg 4894 kg 2536 kg 3625 kg
