No.
Now in a diesel engine that's different. A diesel engine can be coaxed to run on many diffeent types of oil included the old oil from your takeaway food place.
That's an engine that burns gasoline, to produce motion. Many car engines use gasoline as fuel.
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
The combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel
gasoline is a fuel. It produces energy when the fuel is burned. In your car the spark makes tiny explosions which drive engine pistons up and down, thus moving your car.
Unleaded Gasoline, Diesel, Ethanol, or Natural Gas depending on the engine.
Gasoline (gas) is the liquid fuel that provides the energy for the car. It is combusted (explosively burned) in the engine cylinders.
From the tank, gasoline goes through the fuel line, fuel pump and fuel filter brfore entering the engine. In a fuel-injected engine, it then goes directly to the injectors and gets injected into the cylinder. In a carburated engine, the fuel goes through the carburator, then the intake, and passes through the intake valve into the cylinder.
The chemical energy (the fuel) turns into kinetic energy (the car moving) and heat energy(given off by burning fuel).
If it is a car which has an engine that runs on regular gasoline (gas or petrol), and as long as its engine doesn't need the "high octane" type of gasoline - such as certain sports cars - then it should run just fine!But if the car has a diesel engine, you risk causing a lot of damage if you put gasoline fuel into the tank instead of diesel fuel... If that is what you were asking about, please see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.

petrol is synonymous to gasoline. so a petrol car is a car that uses gasoline as its source of fuel.
The chemical energy is stored in the fuel, ie gasoline or diesel, and released when it is burned in the engine.
