And they're pretty big differences. Burning a cubic meter of natural gas produces 1.7kg of co2, but producing and transporting it adds another 0.3kg to that. (In the Netherlands, at least, ymmv).

For something like gasoline or diesel, co2 emissions from well to tank is something like a quarter of all emission.
