- If a commuter car in the U.S. carried just one more passenger, we would save 600,000 gallons of gas and reduce air emissions by 12 million pounds of CO2 everyday.
- An improperly tuned car produces 10-15 times more pollution than a tuned one.
- If all the cars on US roads had properly inflated tires, it would save an estimated 2 billion gallons
