Foods and gasoline are called fuels because they provide energy when consumed or burned. They contain substances that can be converted into heat and other forms of energy through chemical reactions, making them essential for powering various processes, from metabolism in living organisms to combustion engines in vehicles.
Some fuels made from petroleum include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. These fuels are derived from crude oil through the refining process and are used for transportation, heating, and various industrial purposes.
The chemical formulas for liquid fuels can vary depending on the specific fuel. Some common liquid fuels and their formulas include gasoline (C8H18), diesel (C12H26), and kerosene (C12H26).
Some fossil fuels are liquid (oil) some are solid (coal) and some are gas (natural gas)
For automobiles with a typical internal combustion engine ("ICE"), fossil fuels (such as gasoline and diesel fuel) and air are necessary. Compressed natural gas and hydrogen can also be used in ICEs. However, electric cars utilize massive batteries for power.
When I was young there use to be a term caused "white gas". This simply meant that the gasoline was pure as from the catalytic converter. However if you added additives such as the teta-ethyl lead the gasoline from the pump would take on an orange tint. Old gas pumps use to allow you to see the gas being pumped into your car and the color was apparent.
yes there are some fossil fuels used to make gasoline for autos.
Fossil fuels...Like gasoline/oil, and coal.
Gasoline (petrol) Paraffin Diesel (DERV) Gas oil (Heating oil)
Some fuels made from petroleum include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. These fuels are derived from crude oil through the refining process and are used for transportation, heating, and various industrial purposes.
In fuels gasoline is a liquid petroleum fuel with a density of about 0.8g/cm3. Gas is generally natural gas, methane with some ethane.
The chemical formulas for liquid fuels can vary depending on the specific fuel. Some common liquid fuels and their formulas include gasoline (C8H18), diesel (C12H26), and kerosene (C12H26).
Some examples are gasoline, iron ore, coal, natural gas, oil, and natural gas.

Synthetic fuels are harnessed from the Earth by the environmental materials like the wood. The charcoal is made of wood. Some synthetic fuels are harnessed from the Earth by the artificially-made fuels like gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, and acetylene. :)) Hope you liked my answer! :)) -Tin. Grade 6 student
Some common fuels used in our daily lives include gasoline for vehicles, natural gas for heating and cooking, electricity for powering appliances, and biomass such as wood or charcoal for cooking. Additionally, some people use renewable sources like solar or wind power as alternative fuels.
