"Heavy Fuel" is a song by the rock band Dire Straits released on their album On Every Street in 1991. It was also released as a single.
In Heavy Fuel, Knopfler ironically extols the virtues of such conventionally frowned-upon vices as cigarettes, hamburgers, Scotch, lust, money, and violence.
The phrase "You gotta run on Heavy Fuel" is from a book Mark Knopfler read, and he thought of the sentence when he wrote a song.[citation needed]
