Gasoline runs the engines of our cars. Lots of energy used up getting gasoline from crude oil.
Aviation gasoline is an even higher energy gasoline for airplane engines. Number one in energy per unit mass (racing fuels excepted).
Diesel fuel is similar to gasoline but tailored for diesel engines where compression is much higher. With some adjustment, diesel engines can burn almost any liquid fuel, including mineral, animal, and vegetable oils.
Heating oil is created from crude oil for burning in heating furnaces.
Kerosene is a little down on the specific energy scale. Good for uses such as space heaters and paint solvents. Paint stores also carry such as turpentine and mineral spirits which burn nicely.
Propane drives barbecues and torches.
Butane runs certain lighters and lighter fluid runs other lighters (such as Zippos).
The alcohols (methyl/ethyl/iso-propyl) run alcohol lamps.
Under enough pressure gases such as methane (natural gas), can be liquefied (LNG - Liquid Natural Gas) but it is a stretch to call this a liquid fuel.
There are jelled products such as Sterno, but calling this a liquid is a stretch.
Chemicals which burn include acetone, also called methyl-ethyl-ketone and sold as nail polish remover. Handle with care it burns fiercely as does di-methyl-ketone (DMK), Benzene, methyl-isobutyl-carbonyl (MIBC), and divers others, but these are not general found in the daily life purview, except for acetone.
Finally there are racing fuels such as nitro-methane, but this does not meet the daily life test.

Low-grade fuels are fuels that cause less pollution.
Eventually, fossil fuels will run out.Fossil fuels cause a lot of pollution.
I will rephrase your question- Is the supply of fossil fuels sustainable? The answer is no. In the long run, we will have less and less fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are referred to as non-renewable fuels, which are taken from the earth's resources and used.
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
Yes, they use fossil fuels and they use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
The difference will be in their physical state i.e., solid and liquid state and in their chemical composition. Solid fuels that are used are the filling inside bombs i.e,. gun powder. Liquid fuels used are RDX etc.
Petroleum is a dark liquid used to make fuels and other products.
The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.

Crude oil
i believe fossil fuels come in the form of liquid gas and solid depending whatfuel your thinking an example is petrol=liquid
Not better, just a different application.
Gasoline and diesel are well known liquid fuels.
Petroleum consists mainly of liquid hydrocarbons.
Liquid hydrogen with an oxydizer.
