Why is petrol is better fuel than wax?
It really depends on what you are using the fuel for. If you want a liquid fuel that easily vaporizes in a carburetor to make an explosive mixture with air and burns quickly to release a lot of energy, then petrol is better than wax. I you want a less dangerous fuel for a candle, one that melts and vaporizes to burn slowly in air, then wax is what you want. The reason for the different burning properties of petrol and wax lies mainly in the size of their molecules and how the carbon and hydrogen atoms in them are joined together.
