b) Using the vehicle performance and life cycle inventory data provided below, estimate the well- to-wheel GHG emissions for a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine vehicle. Use a functional unit of 1 km driven.
Assume
Fuel Economy: 8.3 L/100 km [1]
Vehicle Lifetime: 173,151 km (same as BEV in 2.b)[1]
Vehicle Life Cycle: 6.14 tonnes CO2eq/vehicle lifetime [1]
Fuel Cycle Emissions: [3]:
i. Upstream: 23.5 g CO2eq/MJ gasoline ii. Use: 72.7 g CO2eq/MJ gasoline
