As part of the combustion process air is brought in and combined with fuel. The mass of the combustion product is fuel + O2. That's how you get 22.4 lbs of CO2 from 8 lbs of fuel.

I had to check because I thought the same thing you did.

Even counting the mass of oxygen in the CO2 emitted, there is no way far less that 1 million tons of fuel is going to turn into 27 million tons of CO2. The numbers are still grossly inflated.
