Just  owning one Sami Squirrel leaves the same carbon footprint as does driving one 1973 GMC Suburban for an entire year (with the a/c on)

Oh my am I ever in trouble.

What will the tree huggers think about that article?  :D

I'm a bit of a tree hugger and I give the article little credence.  I'm quite sure your pet has an environmental impact just as squirrels (both wild and Samis) do but I would like the see how these numbers are derived.  My guess is they ignore some facts that pet food for our carnivorous furry friends comes mostly from byproducts.  Except for one Rottie I used to know.  Man, could that dog fart.

Last weekend I winterized my '67 Cougar, part of which consisted of dumping in the appropriate amount of StaBil. And then a test drive, during which many full throttle romps were necessary to ensure that the float bowls were replenished fully with stabilized fuel. Said Cougar has dual quads. My carbon footprint was huge during that half hour.

Someone in here in Spokane, WA has a beautiful 68 Charger with a license plate holder that says Global Warmer.

GLBWMR would make a nice plate for someone.
He man, where are all the ads?

actually....

if it was running rich, then your CO and HC foot print was huge (the exhaust gases that really do damage the environment but we've basically eliminated with modern catalysts)

the more efficient you burn fuel the higher CO2 it produces (the exhaust gas the stupid hippies worry about)

when you go past stoich your NOx shoots up (not shown on this chart) which is also a pretty nasty gas (also controlled by catalysts).

It's actually pretty well tuned. But it definitely burns through the fuel if you exercise the right foot - I burned up over an eighth of a tank in the short time I was out tearing around.  ;D  [evil]

Then again, a 3-speed auto and 3.50 axle gears don't help much either....

Yep, factory setup even. Nothing like a ported and polished, cammed up, high compression small block.



Take that, hippies!
