The most common fossil fuels used to power cars are petroleum spirit (petrol / gasoline) and diesel.

It could also be argued that electric cars with rechargeable batteries may be powered ultimately by fossil fuels as the electricity they use is generated at a power station which inturn may use a fossil fuel such as coal or natural gas.
