2.5 lbs is enough to give you 8 - 15 second discharge. A 10 lbs only gives you about 20. Now that's dry chemical (ABC). Neither is going to put out a huge fire, but its enough to do something if you end up having a flare up. I do agree if you can carry a big extinguisher by all means go for it, of course depending on what you actually doing with your car. Most of us its ease of mind having something close.
