Water is a natural byproduct of combustion.

oh. didn't know.

that's why some cars have water dripping from their muffle sometimes?

why is it only sometimes tho rather than all the times?

you don't always see the water because it's in the form of moisture in the exhaust gases

It can depend on a lot of factors like ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure, combustion efficiency, etc etc etc.

yay physics. at 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel, you will emit hydro carbons, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen Nitrates and good old H2O.. but you're rarely at 14.7 exactly, so different scenarios will change the output of combustion.
