I love the fact how modernly the only "vehicle emission" which matters is CO2. CO2 is of course directly proportionate to mileage, as ideal combustion of hydrocarbon fuel results in H2O+CO2.
CO2 is a "greenhouse gas", but it is not a smog-forming pollutant.
Check out this list of cars:
Honda Insight (Hybrid)
Toyota Camry
Toyota Corolla
Nissan Versa
Honda Civic
Mazda 2
Toyota Yaris
Smart Fortwo
Scion iQ
Mini Cooper
Want to know what they all have in common? They all emit MORE smog-forming pollutants, *per mile*, than a 6.2L Raptor. The 6.2L Raptor is a bin 4 vehicle, these are all bin 5. Source:

Global warming might harm the planet, might harm us, and we might be responsible.
Air pollution will harm the planet, will harm us, and we are responsible.
