Please look at this article...

Gasoline weighs about 6lbs per gallon. According to the Department of Energy burning one gallon of fuel releases 21.1 lbs of carbon. How is this possible?
That would be getting something for nothing wouldn't it. In no case will you get more than the component weight of carbon in the gas molecule, right. So it couldn't be more than 6 lbs of carbon released and probably much less than that...proportional to the amount of carbon atoms in the molecule.
Isnt this a bogus government claim that supports their agenda? In fact, what would be the amount of carbon in a gallon of gas?
