Best Answer

When the engine of a vehicle consumes fuel and air to generate energy, the vehicle cannot retain the products of combustion; it would be too inefficient and expensive. The vehicle discharges those waste elements in the exhaust system. The exhaust gases are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, water vapor and soot.
