Sorry, your math is wrong.  :)  We covered the same
distance, and used the same amount of gas doing so;
therefore, the emissions are the same.  If you go
faster, you just produce them more quickly.

If what you said was in fact the case, we'd use less
and less gas per mile the faster we went.  I can
personally attest that this is, sadly, not the case.  ;)
