For each kg of gasoline you get about 3.1 kg of CO2. That's 2.2 kg of CO2 per liter of gas. This holds true for gasoline, diesel, propane and butane. It doesn't matter how or where it is burned, the CO2 output is the same. The only common fuel that produces any less CO2 is methane (natural gas) at 2.75 kg per kg of gas or about 1.6 kg of CO2 for cubic meter of gas.
This all is prettey easy to figure just by balancing the chemical reaction for any fuel.
