Exothermic...the release of heat is what drives internal combustion engines. C8H18(l) is octane gasoline, the standard from which we get our "octane" ratings.
Notice the greenhouse CO2 emission. Also be aware that water (H2O) is also a greenhouse emission, but it stays in the air just a matter of hours, not years like CO2. Which is why CO2 builds up, while water does not.
