What are the percentages for each gas roughley given off by petrol when burnt?

If we're talking about Standard unleaded petrol thats high in octance C8H18, then the combustion is meant to be complete and produce only CO2 at roughtly 59g/MJ of energy and H20 (water) as biproducts. However, NO (Nitrogen Oxide) is produced so is CO (Carbon Monoxide) which is a noxious gas causing death when inhaled in great proportion and other gases like sulphur.
