Data: Us burns about 390,000,000 gallons of gas per day.
SpaceX Falcon9 uses about 38,000 gallons of RP-1.
390000000/86400 = 4513 (gallons per second of fuel in the US).
38,000/4500 = 8.4 seconds.
On the day this launches, it will represent about 0.0097% of the fuel used for that day in the US.
There are about 280 cars in this photo: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/ibimg/hgm/450x253-1/100/226/parking-...
If you printed out this image 40 times, you could delete ONE car from this image for one day. That's the difference that this launch will make.
