Methane, butane, propane and octane are all simple hydrocarbons. Why are these hydrocarbons used differently?

I believe they are used differently because of their carbon chains. They are commonly used for different fuels since large amounts of energy are released. The longer the chain, the more bonds are broken, the more energy released. Am I close? Any help is much appreciated.
