Gasoline is mixed with an air mixture. The air/fuel mixture is compressed and then ignited in the combustion chamber of an engine. The explosion from this ignition forces the piston down which in turn turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft delivers power to the transmission which makes the vehicle move. This is a simplistic explanation of how gasoline powers a vehicle. Good luck.

How does the amount of work done on an automobile by its engine relate to the energy content of the gasoline?

The amount of work done on an automobile by its engine is directly related to the energy content of the gasoline used as fuel.
