Environmental impact (emissions of CO 2 and of other gasses and particulates) when using internal-combustion engines depends on the amount of fuel used. In turn, the average fuel economy (in mpg) is derived by Sivak and Schoettle from the monthly sales figures of individual models and the EPA fuel-economy ratings for the respective models.
