As with any question a young child will ask, keep it simple. As your child gets older, the questions will become more complex.
As for what makes a car go, simply tell them you put in the key and press down on the gas pedal. If they need more detail, they will ask. The simplest answer is usually all they need.
Just wait for "Where do babies come from?" Lol! That one is always interesting.
Good Luck!

My 2 year old always says the car drinks the petrol for it to go but then mummy breaks it when it stops (Grampy is a mechanic so grampy fixes it)

My 2 year old tells me, when I stop for gas, that we have to get gas to make the car go. That seems to work for him.
I agree w/ keeping it simple: gas, wheels, mommy or daddy (or whoevers driving).
