3 Impact From Commuting For A Typical State Employee Approximately 11,450 pounds of Carbon Dioxide (CO2 are emitted annually from one car commuting 50 miles round trip to work. Home Trenton Approximately 580 gallons of gasoline are used annually by one car commuting 50 miles round trip to work. (Each pump represents 100 gallons Approximately 240 mature trees are needed annually to absorb the CO2 from one car commuting 50 miles round trip to work.
