"A LOOK AT . . . Where Cheap Gas Takes Us
More Smog Ahead If We Don't Stop Guzzling

By James J. MacKenzie

Sunday, March 7, 1999; Page B03

Did you know that every 15 gallons of gas your car burns releases about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air."

As the guy who likes to sit at the back of the class whose hand is usually up, my question with regard to the above "leading" statement in the article is "What chemical or atomic process produces 300 pounds of carbon dioxide out of approximately 105 pounds (7lbs * 15 gallons) of gasoline which is 85% carbon?"
