The answer to this question actually depends on a lot of things. First, people use different types of fuel, and they have their preferences. This means you will get different answers depending on what type of fuel people think is best for them.

Another reason is that there are different reasons why we use fuel. That said, you can't compare fuel consumption in vehicles and other smaller machines. However, you can consider your fuel to be efficient if the fuel consumption is 6-litres per 100km. The fuel that allows you to travel the highest kilometer with 1 liter should be seen as the most efficient fuel.

If I should give a specific answer, my answer to this question would be Diesel. Vehicles that are powered with diesel seem to have higher energy efficiency compared to those that use petrol. Also, the type of engine that comes with your car might be something to consider when deciding the most efficient fuel for your vehicle.

This answer would solely depend on the fuel that is being used. The most efficient fuel would depend on the purpose of the fuel. When we are thinking about the fuel that the body needs, the most important fuel is carbohydrates.

This fuel helps the body to keep going and have the energy you need to perform day to day actions. For cars, fuel is important to keep the car running. Gasoline is the most popular one, but many people are trying to go towards solar powered cars to help the environment. For cars that use fuel, diesel is more efficient, and the car will run better.

There are different types of fuel available and people will have different preferences with which one they want. Right now, the most fuel-efficient fuel is known as “diesel.” Some people specifically look for Diesel−powered cars because they feel that they do not have to spend too much on fuel that way.

This is especially true for those who love doing long drives. One thing that you should remember is this: aside from the fuel that you are going to use, the vehicle that you are going to choose will also play a huge factor in fuel efficiency. For instance, an SUV will always burn more fuel as compared to compact cars.

There are a number of fuels that are efficient. The most efficient fuel would depend on the type of fuel and the purpose of the fuel that you are asking about. When it comes to fuel for the body, carbohydrates are the best. This gives the body energy to conduct day to day activities.

If a person is asking about the best fuel for electricity, wind would be the most efficient. It makes the electricity work better. For cars, gasoline would be the most efficient fuel. However, this would be based on if your car uses fuel or not. If it doesn't accept fuel, you would not want to use it in your car.

The efficiency would depend on what needs to be fueled. For example, fuel for electricity is going to be different from the type of fuel that is used for cars. The most efficient fuel that is used for electricity is the wind. This explains why there are different windmills that are placed in areas wherein the wind is strong.

When it comes to vehicles, the fuel that has the best fuel efficiency is diesel. This explains why there are a lot of people who choose to have cars that run on diesel as compared to regular petrol. The fuel efficiency can rise up to 41%. It is better when the vehicle that you choose is also very efficient.

The answer to this question depends on what kind of fuel is being considered. For example, carbohydrates are the most efficient fuel for the human body. Wind is the most efficient fuel for generating electricity. Fuel efficiency for cars and other typical internal combustion engines depends more on the engine design than the fuel type. Many people mistakenly believe higher octane gasoline contributes to better fuel efficiency but that is not true.

When gasoline spontaneously ignites by compression instead of by the spark from the spark plug, it causes damage to an engine because of knocking. So the octane rating actually tells how much fuel can be compressed before it ignites.
