Answer: Noise

Need a hint?

Listen as a car drives past.

Answer and explanation (spoiler!)

The answer is noise.

A moving car always makes some noise. The noise arrives with it and leaves with it, does nothing useful, and a car can’t move without making at least a little sound.

The riddle makes you think of fuel or wheels, which are useful, so they don’t fit.
