Chemical change
When the gasoline burns, it forms water and various gasses, so it is a chemical change.
The burning of gasoline in a car is a chemical change because it involves a reaction between the gasoline and oxygen to produce new substances (carbon dioxide, water, and heat). This results in a change in the chemical composition of the substances involved.
Burning gasoline in a car's engine is a chemical change because it undergoes a combustion reaction that results in the production of new substances (carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other byproducts). This process involves breaking and forming chemical bonds, resulting in a chemical transformation.
Running a car engine involves both chemical and physical changes. The gasoline fuel undergoes combustion, a chemical change, to release energy that powers the engine. This energy is then converted into mechanical work through physical processes such as movement of pistons and rotation of the crankshaft.

Yes, burning gasoline in an engine to power a car is a chemical change. The gasoline undergoes combustion, reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of heat that powers the engine.
Any burning is a chemical change. When gasoline (mostly a hydrocarbon called octane) burns, or combusts, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce water vapor, carbon dioxide, and a bunch of heat energy, which your lawn mower engine harnesses to do work (turn the blade.)
I don't think burning a gas to power a car is either Chemical nor Physical. If you burn gasoline to power a car, it is therefore a chemical AND physical change because both the chemicals and the look changes. However, a car being powered has nothing to do with the substance of gas being changed. If the car uses the gas to power itself, it'll turn the gas into gas again, so I'm not sure how this works. In conclusion, it's probably neither.
Yes, burning gasoline in an engine is an example of a chemical change. During combustion, gasoline molecules react with oxygen to produce new substances such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy. This chemical reaction alters the composition of the gasoline molecules, resulting in a different set of products.
