A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work.
Any substance that upon combustion produces a usable amount of energy is known as fuel. For example wood, coal, biogas, LPG, petrol, diesel, etc.
Gasoline or petrol is a transparent, petroleum-derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in most spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives.
Petrol is any one of various volatile flammable liquid mixtures of hydrocarbons, mainly hexane, heptane, and octane, obtained from petroleum and used as a solvent and a fuel for internal-combustion engines. Usually, petrol also contains additives such as antiknock compounds and corrosion inhibitors.
