The existing reference [37] comes from an untrusted site on Wikipedia. Instead of deleting the site, I inserted another rationale that guarantees the same content. The news on the site uses appropriate references, which are sufficient to be used as a basis. Existing references are based on SCRIBD, and the reason why this site is wrong can be found in the following framework. WP:RSP. Kloyan.L ( talk) 07:09, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
i had in mind that the rafinage off pertroleum into petrol/gasoline coused an volume expansion with a ratio up to 1:4. If i look at the refraction list from 42 gallons, 37 remains which is clearly less. are the gasoline molecules larger or not at all? is there an "popcorn effect" in the molecule build??

Gasoline → Gasoline also known as petrol – Lots of the world calls it petrol. We should have both words in the title to avoid confusion. No one else has suggested this yet. Sure some articles use different spellings like color instead of colour or litre instead of liter but that doesn't cause confusion in the way that gasoline or petrol does, which are completely different words, not merely spelling variants. Alternatively gasoline, petrol or gasoline or petrol Marsbar8 ( talk) 18:38, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
"Petrol" is short for "petroleum" and as a result "petrol" is used to indicate a whole range of petroleum based products in the world, not just gasoline.
While it is most commonly used in reference to gasoline, it is not exclusively used as such, and is also commonly used to refer to other petroleum distillates.
The only proper name for gasoline is gasoline. Both "Gas" and "Petrol" are colloquialism and should be indicated as such. 142.189.17.53 ( talk) 18:29, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
