Not totally, just because it is an internal combustion engine doesn't exactly mean that fossil fuels need to be burnt. The concept of the Internal Combustion engine is relatively reuseable, the major problem with it is its efficiency. As we all know a good petrol engine will probably get around 25 - 30% efficiency as in driving force. The rest is lost mostly to either friction or heat.
If these problems can be rectified the Internal Combustion engine could possibly run on fossil fuels for another century (Oil depending/Government b*llshit). Yet fuel cells and other means of power are being developed so this depends on the movement of technology.
