Sure, we all know (approximately) how much gas costs these days, and how far our cars will go on a gallon, or a tank, of gas, but do you know your car's energy impact score? Based on the premise that knowing how much you're responsible for is the first step toward reducing that impact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) FuelEconomy.gov's calculator combines several different factors, like the EPA's revised gas mileage, to determine the score.
You get an estimate of real-world gas mileage (and you can input your own), fuel economics-how much it costs to drive your car for 25 miles-your car's carbon footprint and the energy score, calculated in barrels of oil per year. Not only is it a great way to contextualize your vehicle's energy use with numbers that make sense, but it also provides insight into how much gas and money it takes to get you around every day, and what size your car's carbon footprint is as a result. From there, you can take steps to get better mileage and find a carbon offset company worth your bucks to offset the rest. ::EPA's Energy Impact Score
