1910 Rock Valley (Iowa) Bee 25 Feb. We wish to tell you, how well pleased we are, with the four-horse gas-engine we purchased... We shelled 200 bushels with it without straining the engine in the least and with less than four gallons of gasoline.

1938 Pop. Sci. Feb. 136/3 (advt.) Yes!! A real gasoline engine that will provide thousands of hours of pleasure and instruction!!.. Lowest-priced gas engine in the world!

1973 Scouting Mar. 55 Detroit is looking for a new power plant for cars—one that works as well as a gas engine but will not pollute the air.

2009 N.Y. Times (National ed.) 24 July (Future of Cars Suppl.) 14/1 (advt.) A series hybrid in which the battery pack is drained before the gas engine starts up.
