Do gas fork lifts produce more co2 than cars or do cars still produce more?
There are more cars than fork lifts. A lot more. So as a group cars produce more CO2 than fork lifts. OK, so one fork lift probably has a smaller engine than one car, so it would produce less CO2 than a car. But I am only assuming that the engine is smaller. A big fork lift could have a bigger engine than a car. Bottom line is that the amount of CO2 is 100% determined by the fuel consumption of the engine. 1 gallon of gasoline burned will produce the same amount of CO2 no matter what engine burns it. So your answer can easily be answered by keeping records of how many gallons of gasoline are used per day and just ignore the type of vehicle or engine. This is different than traditional “pollution”. Traditional pollution is unburned hydrocarbons and other unnecessary byproducts of inefficient burning of the fuel. These can be largely eliminated by good engine design and add on pollution control systems like catalytic converters. But a 100% perfectly clean engine with no traditional pollu
