With a car
No car can actually reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, but an economical car will add less additional carbon dioxide to the air than a less economical one.
When a car is driven, the gasoline it burns as fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
carbon dioxide
Biodiesel emits carbon dioxide when it is burnt; the only difference between biodiesel and fossil fuel diesel is that with biodiesel, the carbon was recently taken out of the atmosphere when the vegetation was grown.With fossil fuel diesel, the carbon has been hidden underground for 300 million years, which is why it adds EXTRA carbon to the atmosphere now.
Cows release more carbon dioxide when they burp or release flatulence than a car does for a whole month....or something like that.
A car typically emits carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons as byproducts of combustion in the engine. Additionally, cars might also release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from fuel evaporation and other sources.

carbon dioxide
It depends on the amount driven and the efficiency of the engine. Essentially 85% of the weight of fuel (gasoline or diesel) is carbon so about 750 g of carbon is emitted for each liter burnt.
A solar powered car would produce zero carbon dioxide.
