U.S. autos emit more than 333 million tons of carbon dioxide each year, more than one-fifth of the nation's total carbon dioxide emissions.
Any serious effort to fight global warming must include cutting auto emissions.
As the report points out, three factors lead to heat-trapping emissions from automobiles are:
* amount of driving
* fuel economy and
* the carbon content of the gas used.
Drivers can control two of these. We can streamline the trips we take in our car, cutting down our global warming pollution and saving at the pump. We can also choose vehicles with high fuel economy.
