‘Burning one litre of Petrol releases 2.36 kg of CO2 (under the ‘perfect’ fuel/air mixture). I know this sounds unreasonable when one litre of petrol weighs around 0.75 kg, but the majority (over 70%) of the CO2 weight is made up of the oxygen which is consumed from the air and does not originate from the petrol.’ ref.

Indicative pricing: at AUD30 per tonne, petrol would increase by
1 tonne of petrol = 1333 litres
1333 litres of petrol produces 3467 kg of CO2 which, at AUD30/t = AUD104
So, AUD104 divided by 1333 = AUD0.08 extra per litre.
