First Answer:
Approximately 7700 kg of Co2 (carbon dioxide) per year.
Second Answer:
Gasoline weighs about 6.3 pounds per gallon. Each gallon of fuel results in 20 pounds of CO2, because carbon from the fuel combines with oxygen in the air. C12 + O16 + O16 = CO2.
I fill my car once about once a week. Some people drive a lot more, and others a lot less, but I figure my car is probably close to average. The tank holds 15 gallons, so that is 15 x 20 = 300 pounds of CO2 per week. I drive about 50 weeks out of the year, so 50 * 300 = 15,000 pounds of CO2. That is about 7.5 tons per vehicle per year, which agrees well with the 7.7 metric tonnes mentioned above.
Humans emit a little over 30 billion tons of CO2 per year altogether. Americans burn 375 million gallons of gas a day, emitting about 1.4 billion tons of CO2 per year. If we divide that by 7.5 we get 182 million vehicles, pretty close to one car for every two Americans. The math checks out reasonably well.

Is the greatest source of air pollution volcanic eruptions or burning fossil fuels?
Definitely the burning of fossil fuels. Volcanoes emit around 100,000,000 tons of CO2 a year. Man-made emissions of CO2 comes to about 10,000,000,000 tons of CO2 per year. So volcanoes emit around 1/100th of CO2 that we do.
