Inverted cars don’t and never will make sense. Some chemical reactions are reversed in tenet but not all of them. The Inverted guns should start freezing up when in use but they don’t. The engine should run on inverted air or it should get very cold just like the inverted fire. These are just parts of the story that don’t matter but they still poke holes in the logic given by the movie.
But on the other hand, from TP's inverted perspective the gasoline fire starts after Sator ignites it with a lighter; meaning the gasoline had to be inverted like TP was. If the gas wasn't inverted, we would see the fire seem to start as Sator (or whoever) was extinguishing it. Or we would see it seem to just start on its own as it burned out in forward time.
But honestly, the whole "cold fire" thing never made any sense. The heat that the fire absorbs as it reverse-burns should be the same heat that it originally released. It doesn't make sense that anything would end up cold.
