Suicide methods:Carbon monoxide poisoning - WikipediaMotor car exhaust may have contained up to 25% carbon monoxide. However, catalytic converters found on all modern automobiles eliminate over 99% of carbon monoxide produced. As a further complication, the amount of unburned gasoline in emissions can make exhaust unbearable to breathe well before losing consciousness.
At one time it was the fashion in Japan, people would put a tube from the exhaust pipe in to the car and hermetically close the windows with sellotape. Newspapers claimed these people often met online though notices like "I don't have the courage to kill myself alone. Who want's to die with me?"
