The main problem causing MMGW is the gas the car uses not the energy used to build the car. Its true the factories produce a lot of co2 but for every gallon (6.25 lbs)of gas the car burns it produces 19.5 pounds of co2 and other greenhouse gases. In other words just a few tankfuls of gas burned accounts for more co2 in our atmosphere than was created to build the car....and that of course continues on for the life of the car.
