before choosing a good fuel we should check that:
1. the fuel should be inexpensive
2. the fuel should be easily available.
3. it should have a high calorific value.
4. it should have a low ignition temperature but not lower than the room temperature.
5. it should neither burn too fast and nor too slow.
6. no residues should be left on combustion
7. it should be safe to store, handle and transport.
For a comparison with methane see the link below. LPG is not considered as an ideal fuel, the ideal don't exist.
An ideal fuel is a fuel which is cheap, easily available, easily transportable, has low ignition temperature and has high calorific value.
Petrol ideal air/fuel mixture is 14.7 to 1. Diesel, ideal fuel/air mixture is 14.6 to 1. As very few engines run at the ideal mixture they are basically both the same.
converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxzidizing into electricity.
because there i sn abundance of itType your answer here...
It's when there's a little less fuel for the amount of air than the ideal condition.
No, but what a wonderful ideal....
Air is used in combination with gasoline at a ratio of 14.7 (air) to 1 (fuel) for an ideal combustion mix.
You'd be lucky to get 30mpg tops

the ratio of the amount (mass) of air to fuel. Ideal is 14.7 lbs of air to 1 lb of fuel to completely burn air the fuel. A slightly rich raitio of about 12.5:1 car produce more power at the expense of emissions.
O2 sensors monitor the oxygen content in a vehicle's exhaust to determine whether the fuel injectors are maintaining the ideal air/fuel mixture.
