Formula breakdown

Formula

changes/year = annual distance ÷ interval

= 2.5

Note

Simplified model: results use idealised textbook relationships and ignore real-world factors such as driving style, load, temperature, aerodynamic and rolling losses, drivetrain efficiency, tyre and brake condition and road surface. CO2 figures are tailpipe only, based on the standard 2.31 kg CO2 per litre of petrol (2.68 kg per litre of diesel), and exclude fuel production and distribution. Use them as estimates, not as legal, safety or load-rating figures.
