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.
The use of the word Gasoline instead of Petrol outside North America can often be confusing. Shortening Gasoline to Gas, which happens often, causes confusion with various forms of gas used as car fuel (compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)).
