An attempt is made to relate risk to energy consumption for automobiles. The denominator of the risk/energy fraction is calculated, i.e., the energy fraction required to build and operate larger cars. The added risk for small cars is estimated. These two factors are combined to produce the risk/energy fraction. This is compared to analogous fractions for producing energy directly. The perception of risk with smaller cars is discussed.
