gasoline engines
Fuel-burning car motors
Gasoline engines are internal combustion engines that burn gasoline to produce power, converting fuel into mechanical motion through controlled explosions in cylinders.
They dominate automotive transportation and power equipment from lawn mowers to generators.
The term distinguishes them from diesel engines, electric motors, or other power sources: The boat came with a small gasoline engine.
