What is "gasoline"?
Gasoline is a type of fuel used in many cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles with internal combustion engines. It is a liquid made from raw oil and is burned in an engine to produce energy, which powers the vehicle. Gasoline is commonly found at gas stations and is essential for the operation of most cars and trucks. It is a highly flammable substance, so it must be handled with care to avoid accidents.
