No, I almost failed basic chemistry and I either drive like a nan or like Kubica there's no middle ground so I have no idea other than the (probable) shit that's in my head.

Sounds like we need to get one of those filthy experts up in here.
Is this the sort of thing @Oliver Schick knows about?

Hmm, I'm not sure, I'm coming at this from an schoolboy chemistry perspective not a car-person perspective so you might know more about it than me. I assume that x litres of fuel is made of y grams of carbon all of which is converted directly into CO2 at 12:44 ratio by weight. In that case nothing else matters except the amount of carbon burned.
But yes, I am ignoring brake residue, PM2.5, NOx, incomplete combustion, whatever. Happy to accept that it's more complicated than what I said.
