Gasoline /ËÉ¡Ã¦sÉliËn/, also known as petrol /ËpÉtrÉl/ outside North America, is a transparent, petroleum-derived liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives.
Gasoline is the main petroleum product consumed in the United States. In 2007, gasoline consumption reached a record high of 9.3 million b/d (391 million gallons per day). In 2014, motor gasoline consumption averaged 8.9 million b/d (375 million gallons per day), or about 47% of total U.S. petroleum consumption.
