Right for gasoline. Since gasoline engines run using air input, a waste product of NOx is also produced but I don't know if you are to include that in your answer or not. Gasoline must contain the elements carbon and hydrogen; the PRODUCTS are CO2 and H2O

Fuel cells may run on one of several fuels; i.e., hydrogen, methanol, natural gas, etc. Hydrogen probably is the most common.I can't tell from your post what your answer is for waste product from fuel cell. It is H2O if you are using H2 and O2.
