Actually you can't. At least, if you use the gasoline in a car, a large percentage of the energy is wasted.

Where does all the energy in an energy pyramid come from?
The producers.
Which statement best describes how the use of gasoline in a car relates to the discipline of chemistry?
The materials used come from the ground. The gasoline undergoes a change as it burns. A car uses the gasoline to move. All parts of the car are composed of chemicals.

The Sun.
Does oxygen provide us with energy or does all our energy come from food and drink?
Oxegen doesnt give us energy there is no energy in the air
Why is an empty gasoline drum more dangerous than a full one?
Because of the fumes. Technically if you threw a match at a gallon of gasoline and could get it past the fumes the match would go out when it hit the liquid. But the match will pass through the fumes and ignite and then the gasoline will ignite and burn or explode. So an empty barrel is all fumes and therefore an explosive environment exists in the drum.
Is all the energy in gasoline used to run the car?

Best Energy Efficient Cars?
While hybrids are more efficient than the standard vehicle, some hybrids are more energy efficient than others. All hybrids have an electrical engine that allows electricity to be used in times of need in order to support the gasoline engine thus using less gasoline. Many hybrids today have very high gas mileage and are very energy efficient. While some models get 40-60 miles per gallon, the Nissan Leaf gets 106 miles per gallon.
Explain why all the stored energy in gasoline does not transform to mechanical energy of a vehicle?
In many processes, part of the energy is lost - in the sense of getting converted into an unusable form of energy. This is no exception. Specifically, when a substance is burned - in this case the gasoline - the chemical energy is converted to heat energy, which is a "lower grade" type of energy. That is to say, it is no longer possible to convert all the heat into other types of energy.
Where do most of your energy come from?
All of your energy come from the food you eat.
What was the cost of gasoline per gallon in 1971?

Average cost of gallon of gasoline?
The true cost of gasoline from a manufacturing standpoint is very low. The white gas is what is left over from all refining processes. It is because of all the profits from prior refining that the white gas becomes costless. This may be difficult for some to understand being that basic economics teaches that nothing is free. There is a cost to everything manufactured and gasoline is not an exception. Additives and transporting will add to the cost. As stated it is still very low. Just what the cost is is a matter of creative paperwork. But for now please consider that Shell Oil had a cost of just 5 cents a gallon. Yes, FIVE CENTS a gallon. That cost was considered to be transportation cost. This cost was during the mid 1980's when gasoline was around say, $1.25 a gallon. For some manufacturers the cost will be different but still low as compared to what consumers are paying. Iraq, Saddam Hussein period gasoline was stated to be 4 cents a gallon. Saudi Arabia, same time gasoline was stated to be 7 cents a gallon. I forgot the name of the country in South America, gasoline was 15 cents a gallon. Once again, the true cost of gasoline is low...because of all the profits from refinement of the crude to produce oils, minerals, solvents, metals, plastics and distillates to name a few.
Where those the aircraft fuel come from?
All from oil products, - gasoline, kerosene and diesel.
Where does all the energy in an energy pyramid come from?
The producers.
What happen if you fuel small amount of diesel instead of gasoline in gasoline car?
if it is only a small amount of diesel (say no more than a gallon) them all you have to do is fill the take right up to the brim with gasoline, it may have a small misfire while it runs the diesel through the system as it will have a much lower octane, If there is quite a bit of diesel in there (anymore than a gallon) then I would recommend draining the tank somehow before filling it up with gasoline
