I have had a few people ask which "motor" is in my car.

I was always told MOTORS are powered by electricity and ENGINES are powered by combustable fuels.


Isn't this correct?

Cars have motors, and reservations have engines.

Thats generally accepted, but I watched a show on the history channel about this, and there are all kinds of debates about it.

For example as listed above Ford Motor Comapany, and why is Detroit known as Motor City and not Engine City?
