13J energy is stored in petrol,
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.
Approximately 34.2 million joules (J) of energy can be released from burning one liter of petrol.
The calorific value of petrol is typically around 32-35 MegaJoules per liter. This means that when petrol is burned, it releases this amount of energy.
One US gallon = 114,000 to 115,000 Btu = 121MJ depending on type.
Petrol is usually costlier than diesel due to factors such as refining costs, demand, and taxes. Petrol has a higher demand and requires more refining to meet environmental regulations, leading to higher production costs. Additionally, taxes on petrol are generally higher compared to diesel in many regions.

Approximately 20-30% of the chemical energy in the fuel of a petrol car is transferred to kinetic energy to propel the vehicle. The rest is lost as heat through various forms of energy loss like friction, exhaust, and other inefficiencies in the engine and drivetrain.

A full tank of petrol is worth as much as a full tank of petrol in any other car.
None. You do not store fuel in a pump.
