Different types of transport range from some hundred kilojoules per kilometre (kJ/km) for a bicycle to tens of megajoules per kilometre (MJ/km) for a helicopter. Via type of fuel used and rate of fuel consumption, energy efficiency is also often related to operating cost ($/km) and environmental emissions (e.g. CO 2 /km).
The Government of Canada collects about $5 billion per year in excise taxes on gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel [21] as well as approximately $1.6 billion per year from GST revenues on gasoline and diesel (net of input tax credits).
