Yep ... that's about two chocolate bars every kilometer ... and that has not really changed too much with newer motor generations as it is mostly a function of how much gas is used.


My current car uses about half of what the previous did though. Old Toyota Avensis 1.6, new Toyota Corolla 1.8 HSD.


Yep, engines definitely have improved over time. Still the Corolla is producing about 80 grams of CO² per km (which in Germany is the benchmark to get a E-plate).

So... Only about one chocolate bar per km.
