CO2 Estimates on Gasoline Receipts

Right after I discovered CO2 estimates on my utility bills... I bought NT$100 worth of 92-octane (3.33 liters, to be precise). The standard receipt mentions, at the very bottom, that the gas I bought will produce 7kg of carbon dioxide.

Unfortunately, the print is so small and so faint that I might never have noticed this if my wife hadn't pointed it out to me.

ADDED MARCH 15: Looking at receipts from various gas stations, it seems only those run by CPC Taiwan (the state-run oil refiner/distributor) do this.

Glad to see a blog about environmental issues in Taiwan. This issue doesn't get as much attention from Taiwan bloggers as it deserves.
