What fuel does cars uses?

The majority of cars use gasoline or petrol as their primary fuel. Gasoline is a petroleum-based fuel that is highly flammable and provides energy to power the internal combustion engine. When gasoline is burned, it produces a controlled explosion that moves the pistons and generates power.

Diesel fuel is another common type of fuel used by some cars, especially in Europe and other parts of the world. Diesel fuel is also derived from petroleum and has a higher energy content compared to gasoline. It is known for its efficiency and is commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles, trucks, and some passenger cars.

Hybrid cars, which combine both a gasoline engine and an electric motor, may use a combination of gasoline and electricity to power the vehicle. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can also use electricity stored in a battery to power the car over short distances.

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained popularity. EVs run solely on electricity stored in batteries and do not require gasoline or any other traditional fuels. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and are considered environmentally friendly.
