What energy runs our cars?
As of 2018, most cars run on fossil fuels such as gasoline or diesel; there is an increasing tendency for cars to run on stored electrical energy (batteries), but those cars are still in the minority.
Can cars run on pure ethanol as a fuel source?
Yes, cars can run on pure ethanol as a fuel source. Ethanol is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline, and many vehicles are designed to run on ethanol blends such as E85, which contains 85 ethanol and 15 gasoline. However, some vehicles may require modifications to run on pure ethanol.
Can cars run on ethanol as a fuel source?
Yes, cars can run on ethanol as a fuel source. Ethanol is a renewable, bio-based fuel that can be used as an alternative to gasoline in vehicles. Many cars today are designed to run on a blend of ethanol and gasoline, known as E85. Ethanol is produced from crops such as corn or sugarcane and is considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional gasoline.
What liquid is needed for most cars and trucks to run?
Most common passenger cars run on gasoline. A small minority of cars and most larger trucks run on diesel fuel. In some countries, such as Brazil, a large number of cars run on either a gasoline-ethanol mix or purely on ethanol, as do many racing cars.
What type of energy are you using when you turn on a car?
Cars usually run either on gasolene or on natural gas - that is, chemical energy. An electrical car would also have electrical energy stored in its batteries.Cars usually run either on gasolene or on natural gas - that is, chemical energy.

Is ethanol safe to use in cars?
The car has to be built to run on ethanol. Ethanol requires different fuel lines, injector sizes, computer programming.
Do all cars run on diesel fuel?
No. Only around 1% of US cars run on diesel. Most run on gasoline (petrol) or a mix of gasoline and ethanol.
How is ethanol made for cars?
Ethanol is alcohol made from corn/sugar cane, etc. it is the same alcohol you drink. Cars that run on ethanol, have different fuel lines, injectors, ECU programming since ethanol runs at a different ai/fuel ratio than gasoline.
What is the difference between ethanol cars and electric cars?
Ethanol is a combustible fluid, which is burned in internal combustion engines just as gasoline is. Electric cars (not hybrids) do not run on internal combustion engines, they run on electricity provided by batteries, which is used to operate electric motors. Hybrids have both features, they can run on fuel or on electricity.
What did cars run on in the 1970's?
Gasoline. I think sometime in the 90s they added about 10% ethanol to the gasoline.
When will cars that run on ethanol be for sale?
Cars that can run on high levels of ethanol (more than 10-15%) are already available in many markets. However, widespread availability might depend on factors like infrastructure development (such as ethanol fueling stations) and government policies promoting ethanol use. Check with car manufacturers and local regulations to see the status in your area.
When was ethanol first used to fuel cars?
We hope that it will be used more in the future, because earth's store of patroleum will end someday. it was first used in ford cars, in 1908.
