Gasoline powered vehicles are the types of vehicles that are commonly used around the world. Gasoline powered vehicles utilize an internal combustion power train. Power train refers to the group of components within the vehicle that generates power. Internal combustion engines are typically associated with gasoline even though variations of the internal combustion engine can be fueled by other sources. The main stream alternative to gasoline is diesel fuel. History of gasoline vehicles Self-propelled

motors give electric cars instant torque‚ creating strong and smooth acceleration. They are also around three times as efficient as cars with an internal combustion engine. The first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s. Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century‚ until advances in internal combustion engines‚ electric starters in particular‚ and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicles. The energy

Antiknock agent An antiknock agent is a gasoline additive used to reduce engine knocking and increase the fuel’s octane rating by raising the temperature and pressure at which ignition occurs. The mixture known as gasoline‚ when used in high compression internal combustion engines‚ has a tendency to ignite early before the correctly timed spark occurs (pre-ignition ordetonation) causing a damaging "engine knocking" (also called "pinging" or "pinking") noise.
