Best Answer

Driving doesn't directly produce it - the chemical reaction of fuel undergoing combustion in the motor is what produces it. The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.
