In 1859 a Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoirdeveloped the first internal combustion engine. It was a single-cylinder two-stroke engine which burnt a mixture of coal gas and air ignited by a spark-ignition system. He patented it in 1860.
Nicolaus Otto invented a gas motor engine in 1876. He built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine, called the "Otto Cycle Engine", and built it into a motorcycle.
Otto's patent was later revoked when it was contested by Beau de Rochas.
Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoi
American engineer named George Brayton made the first petrol engine. It was a two-stroke kerosene engine.
Nicholas Joseph Cugnot really invented it in 1769.
Neither Daimler nor Benz did, they just invented highly successful and practical gas-powered automobiles that ushered in the age of modern motor vehicles.

Petrol engine was invented by nikolaus Otto
A German guy named Karl Benz. He formed the company that exists today as Mercedes-Benz.
he invented the gas engine:)
the gas engine
Etienne lenior invented the gas engine.
Etienne Lenior invented the gas engine in the year of 1860. It's funny a 12 year old was the only one to answer this question.
Rudolph Diesel invented the diesel engine which uses diesel gas.
Many different car engines have been invented. The first internal combustion engine was invented in 1807. It used a fuel of hydrogen and oxygen. In 1858 the first coal gas fueled internal combustion engine was invented. In 1864 a gasoline fueled engine was attached to a cart.
The first gas engine was invented in 1860 by Jean-Joseph-Etienne Lenoir. I don't know if this helps.
No one invented gas.
In 1885 Gottlieb Daimler invented a gas engine that allowed for a revolution in car design.
The internal combustion engine they say that Nikolaus August Otto did but actually he didn't find out about the gas engine until he started traveling as a salesman selling sugar and silverware in Germany.As the above answer says Etienne Lenoir actually invented the first internal combustion engine in 1859. He also invented a gas engine and what was named a toilet in 1860, and a naptha fueled four cycle motorboat in 1888. Apart from these he was awarded the Legion d'honneur in 1881 for developments in telegraphy during the France-Prussian war. My sources for the answer are from family history.
1866 - German engineers, Eugen Langen and Nikolaus August Otto improved on Lenoir's and de Rochas' designs and invented a more efficient gas engine.
No cause Gottlieb Daimler only invented the gas powered engine he did not work with him.
