Here’s a cool website. It allows you to compare the cost, time and carbon burning results of a trip between any two destinations.
I compared the difference between each mode of transportation if I were to travel from Duluth to St. Louis, MO. It turned out I would save both money and carbon by traveling by vehicle even with my Chevy Traverse (although I would more likely to make the trip with a Toyota Camray Hybrid.) It would be a whole lot quicker to fly though.
