gasoline
Refined petroleum vehicle fuel
Gasoline is a flammable liquid fuel refined from petroleum, used primarily to power internal combustion engines in cars and other vehicles.
Americans say gasoline or gas; the British say petrol.
Gas prices are up again.
The shortened form gas dominates casual speech, though it invites confusion with gaseous substances.
