If the combustion of each gallon gasoline produces 22 lbs CO2 how much does your r car produce year?

The amount of CO2 produced by your car in a year depends on several factors such as the fuel efficiency of your car, the number of miles you drive, and the type of gasoline you use. To calculate the amount of CO2 produced by your car, you will need the following information:

* Fuel efficiency of your car in miles per gallon (MPG)

* Number of miles you drive in a year

* CO2 emissions per gallon of gasoline (lbs CO2/gallon)

Once you have this information, you can calculate the amount of CO2 produced by your car using the following formula:

CO2 emissions (lbs) = (Number of miles driven / MPG) * CO2 emissions per gallon of gasoline

For example, let's say your car gets 25 MPG and you drive 12,000 miles in a year. If the combustion of each gallon of gasoline produces 22 lbs of CO2, then the amount of CO2 produced by your car in a year can be calculated as follows:

CO2 emissions (lbs) = (12,000 miles / 25 MPG) * 22 lbs CO2/gallon = 10,560 lbs CO2

Therefore, your car produces 10,560 lbs of CO2 in a year.
