      English is not my primary language. I believe it was explosion motor what you have written at first.

      And while I am no expert of the workings of a modern combustion engine, I do indeed have an understanding of how a combustion engine works.

      I also know what reaction takes place and I know the average fuel consumption of an average European car.

        If it’s not an explosion, what is it?

        Because literally any other answer that’s not a synonym for explosion is wrong…

          It’s a controlled combustion. Not an explosion. Explosion is uncontrolled expansion of gases (also includes expansion without chemical reaction)
