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 used in cars, boats, motorcycles, lawn mowers and other engines. Gasoline usually contains additives affecting the way it burns (A separate chemical fact sheet is available for MTBE, an additive used to reduce air pollution). Gasoline is a powerful fuel for engines and a dangerous explosive!
