Study finds fleet switch from PFI to GDI engines will result in net reduction in global warming

Green Car Congress

Recent studies have compared emissions of PFI and GDI vehicles, including particle number and mass, gaseous pollutants, and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) composition for a limited number of compounds. Measurements include gas- and particle-phase emissions, particle number, particle size distributions, and speciated NMOG emissions.

Flying first class on a single domestic round trip can contribute more greenhouse gas emissions than a year of driving

Green Car Congress

This analysis examined the effect of flight distance on greenhouse gas emissions per passenger, and compared emissions from flying different distances with annual emissions from driving. Greenhouse gas emissions were examined for 17 nonstop flights with round-trip distances ranging from 131 miles to 19,040 miles.
