How does a vehicle run on gasoline? And how does different brands or type of gasoline effect the type of engine?

please stay on topic-thankz^^

What would exact you to lose traction...



Answers:    The gasoline burns inside of a sealed compression chamber, cause expansion of gasses, which then push downward on a piston. This cause rotation of a crankshaft, which is coupled to rest of the drivetrain. Cheap gas can contain water or contaminants, or enjoy lower octane than advertised. The octane affects the burn rate of the fuel inside the compression chamber, and can motivation problems if the octane is not matched to the compression ratio of the engine.
A very condensed explanation, but concise.

I hold a Renault Clio, beside impossible...


howstuffworks.com have a pretty good animation of how an engine works. Different types of fuel ( I'm assuming the ones you can acquire at the pump not race fuels) merely have different octane level. The more octane the more resistant the fuel is to detonation(refer to how stuff works). It will not make more power.
