Question

The other name of petrol is ______
A. Gasolime
B. Gasoline
C. Jet fuel
D. Heavy fuel

Answer 1

Petrol is a very important product obtained from crude oil after distillation. Petrol is used as a major source of fuel in vehicles.

Complete answer
Gasoline or petrol is clear petroleum –derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in most spark ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives.
Gasoline is also called gas or petrol, a mixture of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum and used as fuel for internal-combustion engines. It is also used as a solvent for oils and fats. Originally a by-product of the petroleum industry (kerosene being the principal product), gasoline became the preferred automobile fuel because of its high energy of combustion and capacity to mix readily with air in a carburetor.
So the other name of petrol is gasoline.

**So the correct option is B.

Additional Information:**
Gasoline contains around 10% ethanol.
As natural gas has no fragrance, gas companies use a chemical to add smell.

Note:
In a lot of organic chemistry, -ene or -ine is used (think benzene/benzine), and so the part of the petroleum distilled-off and used in motor vehicles was the part of highest volatility, and in time was dubbed gasoline.
