What happenes during dissolving?

For the dissolution of a solid in a liquid this solute is decomposed in atoms or ions; for the dissolution of gases in liquids or dissolution of solids in solids other processes are involved.

Does a car convert gas into energy using an endothermic reaction?

The energy release is exothermic although the exothermic reaction is not the goal. The goal is rapid expansion of gases in order to move the pistons away from the cylinder head. Heat is a by product....and an unwanted one at that.
