Frequently Asked Questions
How much CO2 does driving to work produce?
Burning gasoline releases about 2.31 kg of CO2 per liter, so total emissions depend on distance driven and the car fuel economy.
How much money can switching to biking save?
For a 5 km commute, 5 trips a week, over 48 weeks, at a 7 L per 100 km fuel economy and 1.50 dollar fuel price, biking instead of driving saves about 273 dollars in fuel a year.
Does this account for bike maintenance costs?
No, this calculator focuses only on the fuel and emissions saved by not driving. Bike maintenance costs are typically much lower than car ownership costs, but are not included here.
