This might be higher for what I was driving, which was an '83 Toyota Landcruiser. <br /><br />I am also assuming that the calculator, using pounds, also uses the short ton for its measurments, rather than the metric or long tonCarFree Stupidityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452960459225854564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739621531803677069.post-86735882935406415602009-04-13T17:00:00.000-06:002009-04-13T17:00:00.000-06:00I used a emissions calculator I found at:

Cars with that sort of efficiency have CO2 emissions of around 300g/km or something like 1 lb/mile.
