Factors for Data Interpretation

Fuel Consumptions

  • MSC fuel consumption = 10.0 L/ 100 km (city driving)
  • LSC fuel consumption = 12.5 L/100 km (city driving
  • SUV fuel consumption = 15.0 L/100 km (city driving)

    Emission factors from Light-Duty Gasoline Vehicles are for:

    • Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 2360 g/L fuel
    • Methane (CH4) = 0.12 g/L fuel
    • Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 0.25 g/L fuel

    Reference: Environment Canada, 2006

    Global Warming Potential (GWP) for:

    • CO2 = 1
    • CH4 = 23
    • N2O = 296

    Reference: IPCC, 2006

    Total CO2-equivalent per L of gasoline = 2.44 kg/L
