Usually, unless they're electric cars but then they still have to use some as backup but not as much. Basically to make that make a lot more sense, yes cars run on fossil fuels, gasoline to be exact, jsut some more than others.

∙ 13y agoCrude oil is split into many different fractions, called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are of different chain length, one hydrocarbon is petroleum, in an internal combustion engine petroleum vapour is mixed with air, when combusted in cylinders the chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy which powers the car.
