Cars generally use gasoline (aka "petrol") or diesel oil. However, some cars also run on compressed natural gas or liquid petroleum gas. Much of it depends on the car's purpose and the owner's goals.

If you mean does the A/C cause the engine to use more fuel, the answer is yes and no. In city driving the A/C does indeed cause the engine to use more fuel. On the highway at speed, the engine uses about the same amount of fuel with the A/C on as with the A/C off and windows down. It also depends on the model year of the car. Older cars have A/C compressors that require more power to drive.
