This shows an example emissions reduction calculation for a 1000 km trip with a driver and 2 passengers in a vehicle consuming 8.8 l/100 km (0.088 l/km) of fuel. This calculation is done for each confirmed trip, and the total emissions reduction (in KG of CO2) is indicated on this page.
| D = distance traveled (km) | 1000 km |
| F = fuel economy of Rideshare vehicle (l/km) | 0.088 |
| F(c) = average fuel economy of light vehicles in Canada (l/km) | 0.107 |
| L = litres of fuel burned (D*F) | 88 |
| L(c) = litres of fuel burned at Canada avg. fuel economy (D*F(c)) | 107 |
| E = CO2 emissions in kg - Rideshare (L*2.3 ) | 202.4 |
| E(c) = CO2 emissions in kg - Canada (L(c)*2.3 ) | 246.1 |
| P = passengers already traveling in vehicle | 1 |
| K = passengers arranged via Rideshare | 2 |
| O = Occupancy of Rideshare (P + K) | 3 |
| A = average occupancy in BC | 1.6 |
| EP(c) = Emissions per passenger - Canada (E(c)/A) | 153.81 |
| EP = Emissions per passenger - Rideshare (E/O) | 67.47 |
| RP = Emissions reduced per Rideshare passenger (EP(c)-EP) | 86.35 |
| R = emissions reduced (RP*O) | 259.04 |
