gasoline

Gasoline is a fuel derived from crude oil through refining processes. It primarily consists of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made of hydrogen and carbon. When burned in an engine, gasoline releases energy by combusting with oxygen, powering vehicles. It also contains additives to improve performance and reduce emissions. Gasoline's volatility allows it to vaporize easily, enabling efficient ignition in engines. It is stored in tanks and pumped into vehicles for transportation. While widely used, gasoline combustion produces greenhouse gases contributing to climate change, so alternative fuels and technologies are increasingly being developed.
