Using gasoline to drive is primarily a chemical process. The combustion of gasoline in an internal combustion engine involves a chemical reaction with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, water, and releasing energy. This combustion process is the basis for the functioning of most vehicles with internal combustion engines. Therefore, the transformation of gasoline into energy through combustion is a chemical change.
