So the carbon footprint of a "large SUV or truck" is estimated to be 6.50 tons annually, but if you use their "exact" feature and put in 20,000 miles/year and 8mpg it comes out more like 21 tons annually. Even reducing the miles to 10,000 miles/year (which is really low for Entitlement: the average is 12,000) you still end up with almost 11 tons of carbon emissions.
