Hi There I didn’t pay much attention in sciences classes I am afraid.
But some one should be able to help me out.
I try to live as consciously as possible and deal with the environment and CO2 emissions. But one thing always stays with me: The volume of CO2.
People always talk about kg CO2 per… For example: diving 5 km in a average car would emit 1kg of CO2. I drive a Toyota Aygo, so a little less then average, but lets say could drive around 20km on 1 litre of fuel. That would mean I’ll use around 0,25 litre for 5 km.
Typical E10 fuel weighs around 0,85kg per litre. That should mean I used around 212 grams of fuel to produce 1kg of CO2. That math doesn’t count up for me… Where does the other 788 grams come from?

Correct answer already given, so I’ll try an analogy – as a chef, I can take a couple of egg whites of x volume, add nothing but energy (elbow grease whisking) and end up with 10x of volume – not magic, simply incorporating another substance to the mix.
