Yes. During WWII some fighter planes engines had the capability to inject small quantity of ethanol inside the cylinders to increase the octane rating of the gasoline. The higher the octane rating the better the more compression a fuel can withstand before detonating. It is a way to augment thrust in IC engines. (although to my knowledge not so widely used in present days)

What type of cars use internal combustion engines?
Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.
What types of vehicles have an Internal Combustion Engine?
Most vehicles, such as cars, vans, and trucks, use internal combustion engines.
What is a type of internal combustion engine?
An internal combustion engine is an engine where the fuel combustion happens inside a combustion chamber. There are both Reciprocating and Rotary engines that fall into this category. Most cars on the road today use internal combustion engines. An example would be the V-8 Hemi engines that Dodge puts in their trucks.
How do you use the word internal in a sentence?
The Chinese government maintains strict control over their country's internal policies. The internal combustion engine is the most prevalent in motorized vehicles. Diesel engines operate differently than internal combustion engines using gasoline.
Why do cars use internal combustion engines rather than external combustion engines?
The term "Internal combustion" means the burning, or combustion of the fuel/air is detonated in an enclosed cylinder under compression, driving piston down. If the combustion was external, there would simply be an explosion in the air that produces no power.
What forms of transport use petrol?
planes, cars, motorcycle (anything that has internal combustion engines)
What vehicles use petrol?
Petrol is gasoline and most internal combustion engines, thus most vehicles, use it.
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal combustion engines burn fuel inside the engine to generate power, while external combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine and use the resulting heat to create power, such as in steam engines. Internal combustion engines are more common in vehicles due to their compact size and efficiency, while external combustion engines are used in specific applications like power plants and some marine propulsion systems.
Do you have to plug a smart car into a wall socket?
No. The Smart cars use internal combustion engines - they're not electric.
What energy source can you use in cars?
Internal combustion gasoline, propane, or diesel engines. Electric motors. Steam engines, fuel cell engines are examples of energy sources.
What type of internal combustion engine has no spark?
Diesel engines are one. They use high compression combined with very high fuel pressures to create combustion.
Do cars use combution engines?
Most cars through history have used "Internal Combustion" engines.The Exceptions have been:External Combustion: Steam Engines are an example of thisElectric Motor driven cars Like the Tesla
