Let me see how much high school chemistry I still remember...
CO2 = C (12) * 1 + O (16) * 2
Suppose AvGas is just Octane, C8H18
C8H18 = C (12) * 8 + H (1) * 18
So yeah, you get 3 lb CO2 from 1 lb of octane.

So 1 lb of C from fuel => 3.67 lb of CO2 outSuppose AvGas is just Octane, C8H18
1 lb of octane => 0.84 lb of C => 3.09 lb of CO2So yeah, you get 3 lb CO2 from 1 lb of octane.
