Four types of fuel currently used in automotive engines?

Hmmm. I'm going to take an educated guess. No guarantees. 1. Petroleum-derived (gasoline and diesel fuel) 2. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 3. Biodiesel (vegetable/organic distillates) 4. Fuel cells (hydrogen) "Electricity" might be considered a fuel, but that's unclear from the question as written. The biodiesel might be considered the same thing as petroleum diesel.

Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?

There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
