How much energy does a car engine have?

A car engine is technically a heat engine that has no energy of its own but it converts the chemical energy in the fuels into heat and then into kinetic energy by turning a rotating shaft. The chemicals that react to make the engine work consists of carbon and hydrogen from the gasoline in the fuel tank, and oxygen taken from the atmosphere. The carbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and heat, while the hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce water and heat.
