It seems impossible that a gallon of gasoline, which weighs about 6.3 pounds, could produce 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. However, most of the weight of the CO2 doesn't come from the gasoline itself, but the oxygen in the air. When gasoline burns, the carbon and hydrogen separate.
Reduce Climate Change. Highway vehicles release about 1.7 billion tons of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere each yearâmostly in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2)âcontributing to global climate change. Each gallon of gasoline you burn creates 20 pounds of GHG. That's roughly 7 to 10 tons of GHG each year for a typical vehicle.
