The pressure times the volume is equal to the number of moles times a constant times the temperature, as long as the gases are ideal.

I'm going to go against the grain and say that the van der Waals equation is a better approximation in some situations.
That's a rule for non-ideal gases.
Although passing gas in the car is not ideal.
Please tag this 'gas law', because it's a personal crusade of mine AND appropriate ;)
Ask and ye shall receive.
At least, this time.
My ideal gas will make your eyes water and refuse to ever let me ride in your car again.
