Answer: Transformed to a different form of energy

Step-by-step explanation:

---------

Possible Explanation - In gasoline-powered vehicles, most of the fuel's energy is lost in the engine, primarily as heat. Smaller amounts of energy are lost through engine friction, pumping air into and out of the engine, and combustion inefficiency.
