It's chemical energy. The fuel is a hydrocarbon, which is burned using the other part of the fuel, oxygen from the air, to create carbon dioxide, water and heat.
When a man fills his car with gas, he expects a conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy. The gasoline contains stored chemical energy, which is released during combustion in the engine. This combustion process converts the chemical energy into thermal energy, which is then transformed into mechanical energy to power the car's movement.

The major conversions are chemical energy in the fuel to heat energy in the cylinders to kinetic energy of the car. Other changes involved include chemical energy in the driver's food to kinetic energy in his muscles to operate the pump, and electrical energy in the pump to kinetic energy of the fuel as it flows into the car.
