Even the most efficient petrol engines are quite inefficient at changing the chemical energy in the fuel to kinetic energy. Most becomes heat and some turns into sound. Somewhere in the region of 25% becomes turning force into the transmission.

It varies from zero (idling) to a max of 38 % ... but the average is about 20 %.
Diesel and petrol engines work differently. Diesel engines use compression to ignite the air/fuel mixture, and have a much higher compression ratio than petrol engines, which use spark ignition. The conditions for ignition are not met when petrol is put into a diesel engine, and will stall.
One US gallon = 114,000 to 115,000 Btu = 121MJ depending on type.
About 2 quarts
3.78litters
About 100 to 150
A full tank of petrol is worth as much as a full tank of petrol in any other car.
Yeah, They save about twice as much petrol
6. liter petrol
None. You do not store fuel in a pump.
