Calorific value of gasoline

The calorific value of gasoline typically ranges from about 31,000 to 34,000 kilojoules per liter (kJ/L) or approximately 44 to 47 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). This high energy content makes gasoline an effective fuel for internal combustion engines, providing the energy needed for vehicle propulsion. Variations in the calorific value can occur due to differences in the chemical composition of gasoline blends.
