The formula C16H3 is a chemistry student's worst nightmare! Normal hydrocarbons have roughly twice as many hydrogens as carbons (like C8H18 in gasoline). This poor car is belching black smoke because with only 3 hydrogen atoms for 16 carbon atoms, it's basically running on 80% pure carbon! That's not fuel—that's a rolling coal factory! The student clearly missed a digit somewhere, and now their theoretical car is having a very real meltdown. Chemistry karma strikes again!
