Best Answer

Some of the major advantages of using petrol in an internal combustion engine include: ease of availability of petrol, non-corrosive nature of regular petrol, relative safety of liquefied petrol. Some of the disadvantages of petrol include: enviromental damage of unburned petrol and unrestrained Hydrocarbon emissions, steadily increasing price, petrol is relatively inefficient and production of CO2 even with perfect combustion.

What type of cars use internal combustion engines?

Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle.

The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.
