nah even an ICE car in a garage is not neutral : it needs oil & filters changes every 1-2 years if you want to keep it running, and gas does not like to be stored more than 3-6 months.

This said, so you are so right we should stop using cars as much as possible and walk, bike, take public transports, or rent when needed.

Genuine questions:

Does the creation of lubricating oil actually cause a notable level of CO2 emissions? (I guess that depends on synthetic vs mineral?)

Does gasoline "going bad" and having to be disposed of produce CO2 emissions? or, since it's destroying gas that would otherwise be burnt, is it actually carbon negative?
