Do you think this is possible? It's just an idea. Could the gas be "recycled" and keep going and going through the car, and powering it?

i dont think so cuz the way it evaporates
but that is a good idea
keep thinking no telling what you will discover or figure out!
good work:)

Nope, the internal combustion engine burns fuel, so the gas isn't gas anymore, it is just whatever residual pollutants that are left over. Gas isn't a renewable resource. Solar power, wind power, and ethanol are examples of renewable energy sources. But even they aren't "recyclable." But, you would just need wait 'til the sun comes up or the wind blows or the corn grows to get more energy.

Gasoline, when used, is combusted. The energy in the carbon bonds are used by the car. The remnants of the chemical reaction burning is blown through the exhaust. There is no way to "recycle" any of the exhaust.

No.
Gasoline is chemically changed when it is burned to create the energy that makes the car go.
Once it is burned, all that is left is the exhaust gases and some water.
Some cars do have devices to recycle some of the usable parts of the exhaust, but there isn't much usable energy value left.

Are you for real . ..I mean . . really.
The gas is burned through the process of driving your car.
You see .. the spark plugs make a spark, they ignite the gas, it causes a mini-explosion which forces the piston to move up. When you string together enough of these pistons together, they can generate enough power to turn wheels and make the car go.
Once the mini explosion is done, there is no more gas. There's nothing to recycle.
I guess it's back to the drawing board, Einstein (no offense)

Cannot be done sorry. It combusts and burns, and becomes
hydro-carbons, oxygen, carbon, and water.
A good example is asking, can fire be recycled. Nope,
the elements burn up and give off energy, all that is left is waste.

Gas companies would never make any money that way, so if it's possible to do that, they will make sure noone knows about it

No, Too bad it can't the hydrocarbons will evaporate and make gas loose its power.

No, not really. Gasoline is transformed into CO2, H2, and H20. You have to use a lot of energy to transform it back into fuel.

No. The laws of Thermal Dynamics forbid it.
