In an ideal combustion situation, the ratio of oxygen to gasoline is 14 to 1. So assuming that your vehicle is running in ideal conditions, and taking into consideration that the atmosphere is comprised of approximately 22% oxygen, then there would be approximately 63 gallons of atmosphere consumed for every gallon of gasoline. This, of course, does not take into consideration ambient air temperature altitude, and humidity, all of which affect the volume of atmosphere.

Well it is hard to say because air is messured in cubet feet per minet and not a gallons.
But in a car it is 75-90 % air to 25-10 % air
In and engine the idea is to make the air explode. To do this the car adds a little gas and mixes this with a lot of air and this with the gas makes the air explode
Ever heard of high compression pistons?

Depends on the ratio of the engine! 13:1 is the absolute maximum on a gasoline engine and 26:1 on a diesel!
