I have. Used to work at an LPG storage field and we received fire training every year. Emptied many 30# powder extinguishers, a few of the big powder rigs on wheels, some large gas extinguishers, and can run a fire hose by myself if need be. At my age, I wouldn't want to do the latter, but I could.

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.
