"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 the novel "Money" by Martin Amis, on which Knopfler based his lyric. [Dagostino, Susan. 2006 Mark Knopfler's Song Inspirations. EzineArticles (May, 25)]
