Well, Only about 14%-26% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road, depending on the drive cycle. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies or used to power accessories. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous.

In gasoline-powered vehicles, most of the fuel's energy is lost in the engine, primarily as heat. Smaller amounts of energy are lost through engine friction, pumping air into and out of the engine, and combustion inefficiency.

Advanced technologies such as variable valve timing and lift (VVT&L), turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and cylinder deactivation can be used to reduce these losses.

Diesel engines have inherently lower losses and are generally one-third more efficient than their gasoline counterparts. Recent advances in diesel technologies and fuels are making diesels more attractive. This answer your question? :)
