The invention relates to a vehicle with a mixed gas generation system. According to the vehicle with the mixed gas generation system, fuel obtained by synthesizing H2 and CO generated through electrolysis is supplied to an internal combustion engine. The vehicle (10) is provided with an engine (12), an H2 and CO tank (16), a CO2 recoverer (18), an electrolyte solution tank (20), an electrolyzer (22), a water tank (24) and the like. During operation of the engine (12), waste gas is introduced into absorption liquid in the CO2 recoverer (18), and CO2 in the waste gas is recovered and stored in the electrolyte solution tank (20). Power is supplied to the electrolyzer (22) while the adsorption liquid absorbing the CO2 and water are supplied to the inside of the electrolyzer (22) from the electrolyte solution tank (20) and the water tank (24). In this way, mixed gas composed of CO and H2 is generated from the CO2 and the water. The generated mixed gas is stored in the H2 and CO tank (16) temporarily and supplied to the inside of the engine (12).
