Answer:

The reasons behind it include the environmental cost of manufacturing and how many miles per gallon a car gets.

a study reveals that fully 75 percent of a car's lifetime carbon emissions stem from the fuel it burns, not its production. A further 19 percent of that is production and transportation of the fuel, leaving just six percent for the car's manufacture.
