The fuel stored in tanks and used in cars is primarily gasoline or diesel. Gasoline is a refined petroleum product that powers most gasoline engines, while diesel is used in diesel engines and is derived from crude oil through a different refining process. Both fuels provide the energy needed for internal combustion engines to operate. Additionally, alternative fuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and electricity from batteries are also increasingly used in vehicles.
