I'll run it again with the assumption I do have a vehicle and I drive it about 18,000 miles a year which is the average annual mileage for my sex and age group.

Edit: Having one vehicle, driving it 18,000 miles a year and getting 20 miles to the gallon shot my CO2 emmissions up to 50,948 lbs. per year.

My average monthly electric bill since I moved here earlier this year is $44 a month. My highest monthly gas bill so far has been $19 and that's the amount I entered. I won't know my true monthly averages for both until next June or so.
