How many cars on the road does 1 florescent light bulb replace?

Fantastic question! Well, let's see:
One fluorescent bulb will save an average of about 1000W a day. If cars ran on electricity, as some do, that would save the equivalent of about 5HP in practical terms. A car requires an average of 20 HP to move along in average traffic, all day long. So, really, if you replace four bulbs in your house with fluorescents, it's as if one car has been taken off the road. You could also say, one fluorescent lamp replaces a quarter car.
This also holds true when you do the calculation on the grounds of energy production through fossil fuels, which is what most countries do. Running four fluorescents in your house will save one car's worth of fuel consumption in commuter traffic per day. You can also calculate this via your electricity bill. The savings you achieve by running fluorescents will very roughly equal the price you would have to pay for the amount of diesel fuel which would otherwise have been burnt in the power plant making the electricity for regular bulbs. That amount of diesel fuel is available for something else then.
Happy now?

The less energy we use, the less energy electric utilities must generate, and less demand means fewer greenhouse gas emissions. If homeowners change just one bulb to an Energy Star qualified bulb they will prevent the release of more than 450 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
