I heard that motorcycles use 2-cycle engines, which causes for worse pollution, but considering motorcycles’ better gas mileage, my guess is that motorcycles would still be better than cars. Does anyone know for sure?
Apperently I’d heard wrong that motorcycles have 2 cycle engines. But I’ve yet to get a real answer to the question.
If a motorcycle and a car each travel 1000 miles, which is going to pollute more, why, and by how much?
