Volume of car exhaust gases
Discussion
Seems an appropriate section..
Lets say the average car in the UK has a 1.8 litre engine and cruises at say 2000 revs, and is used for 3 hours a day.
Given that there are around 30 million cars in the UK, say only half are used each day, the volume of exhaust gas emitted per day is:
1.8L x 2000 revs/minute x 180 minutes x 15m =
972,000,000,000,000 litres.
972 thousand billion litres of noxious gases. Per day.
Is that right?
I think I am off to join Greenpeace!
(feel free to point out the errors in my maths, there must be some!)
