I'm not forgetting anything.
You take oxygen from the air and burn carbohydrates in the fuel. You get energy, CO2, water and various nitrus oxides.
Unless you're counting CO2 that gets into the engine in the air, you can only get CO2 only by burning carbs in the fuel, so in those 60 grams.
Furthermore, combustion is not 100% effective, so instead of getting just CO2 you get CO and other things (like Acetaldehyde, depending on fuel used)
If (mass wise) carbon is about 27% of mass of CO2, so 60 grams of pure carbon would give you over 220 grams of CO2 in perfect combustion. But those 60 grams are not pure carbon but something more like C8H18 or CH4.

speaking off the top of my head... about 14% of car's exhaust (for petrol engines) is CO2... 71% is N2..

if you burn 60g of fuel, you will mix it with 14,7x60= 882 grams of air... so total is 942 grams.... it then explodes, and for the sake of argument we get 942 grams of exhaust.... 14% of which is 132 grams of CO2....
Now, I know I am not 100% right, but I am close enough..

Schnitzer cosmetics are such a huge fail.

Completely agree.

They're the design equivalent of German Techno music; vacuous.

Those wheels are straight off a waankers Astra.

Excellent summary.
