Summary
What the Numbers Mean
With the defaults (12,000 miles, 25 MPG, gasoline), the car burns 480 gallons and emits 4.27 tons CO2 — 356 kg per month. That's just below the 4.6-ton US average and would take about 214 trees a year to offset.
MPG Is Not Linear
Going from 15 to 20 MPG saves far more fuel than going from 35 to 40 MPG. The biggest environmental gains come from replacing the least efficient vehicles. EVs, even on a mixed grid, emit roughly half the CO2 of the same trip in a gasoline car.
