The main useful energy change in a petrol engine is the conversion of chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy. During combustion, the chemical energy stored in petrol is transformed into heat energy, which then expands gases that drive the pistons. This mechanical energy ultimately powers the vehicle's movement. Efficient energy conversion is crucial for optimal engine performance.

Is there an energy advantage if diesel contains 17 percent more chemical potential energy than petrol?

Yes, the energy output of an engine is governed by the chemical potential energy of the fuels. Assuming that the extra potential energy could be turned into useful work, there would be an energy advantage of diesel over petrol.

When people say energy is lost what do they mean?

The energy in a closed system is constant, which is the principle of Conservation of Energy, but in machines the amount of useful energy coming out is less than the amount going in. This is explained by lost energy. In a petrol engine the lost energy comes out in the form of heat because the engine block is hot, which happens because of friction in the bearings but also because the gas in the cylinder has to be at a high temperature and pressure.
