I have not found a single page with estimates as low as dmitrygr’s 18.6 pounds per gallon. The numbers from the top hits ina web search for me:

19.64 - http://www.patagoniaalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/...

20 - https://climatekids.nasa.gov/review/carbon/gasoline.html

20 - https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/contentincludes/co2_inc.htm

19.6 (converted from grams) - https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gases-equivalencies-ca...

“Just over 19” - https://epicenergyblog.com/2013/05/24/how-many-pounds-of-car...

The next hit isn’t about CO2 from burning Gas, but about the upstream emissions that go into producing gasoline, which it pegs at 3.3 to 6.7 per gallon - https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/ask-mr-green/hey-mr-green-...

What sort of estimates are you getting?
