Question

Study the table to the right and then answer these questions by filling in the blank columns in the table.
1. Convert the miles per gallon figures in the table to
kilometers per liter (kpl).
2. How many liters (and how many gallons) of gasoline
would each type of car use annually if it were driven
19,300 kilometers (12,000 miles) per year?
3. How many kilograms (and how many pounds) of carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphere
annually by each car, based on the fuel consumption
calculated in question 2? Assume that the combustion of gasoline releases 2.3 kilograms of CO2 per liter(19 pounds per gallon).
