Time to Fill Up on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

in fact, it is at the rate of 19 lbs of CO2 per gallon of gasoline burned?
a gallon of water weighs 8#'s, i suppose gas has similar density, so one gallon of gas weighs lets say 10 #, and when burned in an internal combustion engine, that produces 19 #'s of CO2???
How could you possibly produce more CO2 by weight, than you consume in gasoline? dont forget, air is mostly N2 and some O2 and very little CO2 is naturally in air.
I question how you get these figure?
thanks for being accurate with your figures.

How long will it be before the greenies put a carbon tax on gas??

Cars are one of the biggest user of oil, hence they must be contributing to CO2 build up in th atmosphere, hence look out for the carbon tax.
It is also coming in your electric bill, as greedy politicians begin taxing utilities emitting CO2, read coal and natural gas fired power plants. These polluters of CO2 will be taxed for their carbon emissions and those taxes will be passed right on to the homeowner and factory and office as a new and major cost increase.
Just what we need in a recession, fast becoming a major one, more taxes. Say good by to more jobs as these taxes start hitting the economy.
