hydrocarbons are carbon chains with hydrogen (and hydrogen only) bonded to them. So, most fuels are carbon chains with hydrogen bonded to them. Octane (gasoline) is C8H18

Fossil fuels are a source of chemical energy. Chemically conbining the hydrocarbons in fossil fuels with air is combustion and primarily produces carbon dioxide and water. (There are many more details of the chemistry of the specific fossil fuels and many other results of their combustion besides the predominant gasses of water and carbon dioxide.)
When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

Most fuels are based on hydrocarbons. When hydrocarbons are burned (oxidized), a significant amount of chemical energy is released in the form of heat.

Hydrocarbons are used as fuels, solvents feedstock in organic chemistry.
Simply Stated: Hydrocarbons are used as fuels.
I am pretty sure the answer is hydrocarbons.
In organic chemistry, those compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be found in the form of gases, liquids, waxes, and polymers.
The Earth's Lithosphere is the Crust and Upper Mantle. Fossil Fuels or Minerals Fuels are fossle source fuels, that is, carbon or hydrocarbons that are found on the earth's crust
Gasoline and fossil fuels are hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are composed of the hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and carbon (C). MTBE and ethanol components to gasoline are also hydrocarbons.
They are used as fuels and raw materials in the petrochemistry.
