1 1.31 If the U.S. fleet of vehicles suddenly became 15% more fuel effi- cient, how much annual emissions of CO2 would that prevent? Assume the following: 200 million vehicles in the U.S., each driv- ing (on average) 12,000 miles/year, with an average fuel economy of 18 mi/gal. Also assume each gallon of gasoline contains about 5 lb of carbon.
In 1908, what fraction of U.S. NOx emissions was contributed by highway transportation? By electric utilities? What were these fractions m 2008?
Calculate the emissions of NOx from all the vehicles in Orange County, Florida, in 2008. The fleet-average NOx emission factor for 2008 was 1.645 g/mi and the total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in that year were 13.53 billion miles,
