Emissions factors for carbon dioxide produced by gasoline and diesel driven vehicles have been calculated theoretically. On the assumption that emitted hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are gradually converted to carbon dioxide, approximately 2.32 - 2.41 kg carbon dioxide per liter of gasoline and 2.61 kg carbon dioxide per liter of diesel are produced. Swedish emissions of carbon dioxide from diesel and gasoline driven vehicles during 1987 are estimated to 13 and 6.8 million tons respectively, making a total of 19.8 million tons. Emissions of carbon dioxide from gasoline driven cars are highly dependent on speed and are lowest in the speed range 60-90 km/h.
