what is that liquid dripping from the muffler on the car? Could it be gas and water dripping from the muffler?

Just water from condensation. Some cars have a lot, others not much depending on where the drain holes in the exhaust are and how the pipe bends around. Nothing to worry about.

It is water, condensed from the exhaust gases from the engine. The major products of burning gasoline are carbon dioxide and water vapor, but the latter will condense to liquid water as it cools in the exhaust piping system. As the exhaust system heats up, the condensation will get less and less, so you won't see the liquid water any more. The "smoke" that comes from the muffler on a cold day is really a cloud of condensed water droplets.

That is prettty much impossible. Some tailpipe condensation is common in many cars. a lot of water and you would notice it coming from some reservoi. Check all fluid levels and most likely you will find them normal. Condensation doesnt have to come from the car, but can come from the atmosphere. If you have a cracked block,headgasket, you would have water/antifreeze in the oil. and your car wouldnt run all that well.

It is just condensed water from when the engine exhaust system cooled off before. Now that there is pressure in the exhaust system it is coming out.

Is muffler American for exhaust? If so babes.....don't drive your car any more until you've seen a motor-surgeon.
This sounds like gasket trouble. Your head gasket has blown. MAJOR engine-out job.
The head of an engine is a bit like the heart of a human being. Don't drive your car at all. It will f##k your pistons and rods up.
