You read that right. Of course, it depends on how much you drive, but cars put huge amounts of this stuff. Check out FuelEconomy.gov. You can find your car and enter your driving habits and fuel costs to figure out how much you're spending and polluting.

Since I started this job I am driving about 400 miles a week which is somewhat higher than average (i used to walk to my last job, and in college I rode my bike or took the bus!), but still, cars put out tons of junk, even nice little hybrids.

I think Biodiesel is probably the best way to go, but a good diesel car is really hard to find. VW makes nice diesels, but they've been outlawed here in Cahleeforneeah and people are gobbling up used models at way above their actual value.
