This is true, there is a product that we had at my house called the
mosquito magnet and all it does is turn propane into CO2 and catch mosquitoes in a trap inside. It works incredibly well. The dry ice would also work, they wouldn't necessarily land on the dry ice but they would certainly fly around in the CO2 above it.
The reasons why mosquitoes don't chase after cars is because cars are a lot faster than mosquitoes.
