Best Answer

If a car has a low MPG that means that it does not use as much petrol (miles per gallon). this helps the environment more than cars with a high MPG because the process of finding them can release harmful gasses from the mining equipment.

And when it is in you car, the engine's process of combustion also releases gasses such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which contribute to global warming.
