What percentage of cars run on gas?

There's no single definitive answer to what percentage of cars globally run on gasoline. The proportion varies significantly by country and region due to factors like:

* Availability of alternative fuels: Countries with strong electric vehicle (EV) adoption rates will have a lower percentage of gasoline-powered cars. Similarly, areas with widespread access to biofuels or natural gas may see a smaller gasoline share.

* Vehicle age: Older car fleets tend to have a higher proportion of gasoline vehicles.

* Government policies: Incentives for EVs or taxes on gasoline vehicles impact the market share.

* Economic factors: The cost of gasoline vs. alternatives influences consumer choices.

While precise global figures are hard to come by, it's safe to say that gasoline-powered cars still represent a very large majority of the global car fleet. However, this majority is steadily shrinking as EV adoption increases. You won't find a reliable percentage figure without specifying a region and time period.
