The first car on gasoline
The first car on gasoline appeared in the year 1885/1886 AD, when the German Karl Benz designed and produced the first self-propelled car with a gasoline engine, and he registered a patent for that, and this invention was not purely coincidental, as the history of self-propelled cars dates back to the fifteenth century Leonardo da Vinci developed the first design for a horseless chariot, and since that time many have tried to design and produce self-propelled chariots that operate with different types of engines.

- Three wire wheels, two in the back and one in the front.
- High voltage electrical system (voltage) and spark plug.
- Cooling system based on evaporation of water.
- Exhaust with a controlled valve.
- Automatic fuel injection system.
The experience of driving the first car on gasoline
Before Karl Benz showed his invention represented by the first car on gasoline to the public, he had to first test it, so he was doing it stealthily during the night in his neighborhood, and he continued to do so for several nights until he mastered its leadership well, then waited until he recorded The patent was officially issued, and on the third Sunday of July 1886, Benz drove his car around the German city of Mannheim, where he lived, and his son Eugene was running alongside him, carrying a bottle of gasoline to fuel the car to keep moving.
