Even a 30# extinguisher won't do much good on a car fire if you don't use it right. Even worse with a gas (CO2, Halon, etc) extinguisher, especially if there is any wind.
The small extinguisher you find in cars is NOT meant to put out a fire of any size - it's to knock the fire down enough so you can escape or be rescued.
