        @paulg They don’t list their CO2 numbers, so I’m not sure where your 64x figure comes from. Maybe you mean CO?

        @paulg They didn't measure CO₂; they only talk about non-CO2 pollutants. And they don't include a global warming potential equivalent.

        @paulg And leaf blower hours used is probably 1/64000th of full size pickups.

        @paulg Almost: "It's only in the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) [...] where the Raptor is the higher emitter." - co2 prp to fuel cnsmtn.

        @paulg not really. You mean CO. CO2 is factor of how much fuel was used.

        @paulg If you think that’s bad, wait until you look at the toxin emissions (NOx, VOCs, etc)

        @paulg Where did you get that figure from? The article says 23x for CO, and that the truck has higher CO₂ emissions, as you'd expect.

        @paulg Carbon monoxide? It's going to spit out a lot more nasty stuff, but I think overall carbon is largely dependent on fuel consumed
