[quote=Anonymous]The sales of ATVs are growing 30% yony. Whither the air pollution and climate change impact? It’s pretty atrocious, but the noise is by far the worst. As well as danger to life and limb motorized amusements require a fairly staggering 2.2 billion gallons of gasoline, with jet skis and pleasure boats combined accounting for 1.4 billion gallons; ATVs 594 million gallons; snowmobiles 188.5 million gallons; and dirt bikes 87 million gallons. All these fabulous toys soak up 1.6 percent of the outrageous 143 billion gallons we consume in the United States annually overall. But because a number of these devices use dirty two-cycle engines instead of the four-cycle engines in cars, their share of total pollution is vastly higher than their 1.6 percent share of gasoline consumption.
