Gasoline, also known as petrol, is a transparent, yellowish, and flammable liquid used as a fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons derived from the fractional distillation of petroleum and is chemically enhanced with gasoline additives. The octane rating of gasoline measures its ability to resist premature ignition, which is crucial for efficient engine performance.
