" EPA and NHTSA estimates are based on the assumption that vehicles will be driven 15,000 miles annually, and that 55% of those miles will be city miles, with 45% classified as highway miles. Using the Carbon Footprint tool, we calculated metric tons of CO2 emissions based on the same 15,000-mile annual estimate. We used the EPA's Air Pollution Score, which accounts for "vehicle tailpipe emissions that contribute to local and regional air pollution." Emissions standards are for carbon-containing compounds (including hydrocarbons); oxides of Nitrogen; particulate matter; Carbon Monoxide; and Formaldehyde. Results are reported as a whole number score from 1-10, with "1" representing a minimum passing score and "10" representing a perfect score, with no tailpipe emissions at all. We used the California standards, which are the most stringent in the US for 2012. "

It's a bit disappointing that they singled out the musclecar for the focal point of that article. Other than the Maserati, everything else is Mom's car and Dad's truck, middle-of-the-road vehicles with higher quantities by an order of magnitude.

If I had a dollar for every dumba** in a Titan around here I'd be rich. You'd think there was a Toyota factory around here someplace.

Off the point, Titan owners seem too often to be arrogant young boys who drive too aggressively.
