Carbon monxide is released when most combustible items are burned, petrol releases quite alot of this gas, cars release alot less carbon monoxide now because of the catilitic converter, then the catilitic converter or cat for short gets up to it's working temperature it can stop the release of this gas by up to 90%, at the cost of some horses, but high flow cats are available if you want a legal performance car.
