What kind of engine do most cars use today?
Most cars today use the internal combustion engine.
Most engines are what kind of engine?
Most engines are internal combustion 4 stroke (4 cycle) engines.
Gasoline can power a car because the fuel has what kind of energy?
Internal combustion reactions power the car. The gasoline ignites, and the spark creates the power for the car.

What is fuel?
Any kind of material or gas that produce energy during its combustion.
What kind of energy is used when riding a school bus to school?
It is usually chemical energy released by the combustion of the fuel.
What kind of fuel can be used in cars instead of diesel?
Gasoline is the most common type of fuel used in cars in North America because cars there use an internal combustion engine. A diesel motor can also use Biodiesel.
How engine works with electricity?
I assume that your question is how you can use an engine to obtain electricity. If so, the idea is the following: You burn a fuel inside the combustion chamber of the engine. What this will do is to convert the chemical energy of the fuel molecules into thermal energy. You can then use some kind of rotor (turbine) that converts this thermal energy into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine. The mechanical energy is transmitted via an axle that connects the turbine to an electric generator. Simplifying, a generator comprises of a magnet that rotates inside a coil and electricity is then generated inside the coil of this generator via induction. That's how you obtain electricity from a combustion engine. I hope I understood your question correctly.
