What does the traditional automobile industry use as fuel?

Gasoline and diesel are the most commonly used fuels for automobiles at present.

Gasoline and diesel oil obtained from petroleum refining have high energy density, low price, difficult deterioration and convenient transportation, and are very suitable for ignition engines and compression ignition engines.

Fuel usually refers to a substance that can convert its stored chemical energy into heat energy through chemical reaction (combustion). At present, the fuels used in automobiles are mainly gasoline and diesel. With the increase of car ownership year by year, the environmental pollution caused by car emissions and the gradual shortage of oil resources can not be ignored, so various alternative fuels have been more and more widely used.

At present, the alternative fuels for engines developed and used in China include natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, methanol, ethanol, biomass fuel, hydrogen and dimethyl ether.
