__** [1]Gasoline is a very complex compound made of millions of hydro-carbon strings, containing as many as 4-12 carbon atoms per molecule that when burned releases a huge amount of energy Oil is refined from crude oil that condenses at a slightly lower temperature that [|Kerosene]. Gasoline also contains MTBE which is a chemical that helps your car run more efficiently off the gasoline. Gasoline is also very flamable[2].
 * __ What is Gasoline?

[3] **__History of Gasoline__** When oil was first drilled for profit most refined [|crude oil] (also known as petroleum) was sold as karosene for most lamps. With the invention of the light bulb karosene sales dropped. With oil not as proffitable as before a new product was needed and with the introduction of the ford model T, gasoline was now needed to fuel the cars and ever since then the most used product refined from oil is Gasoline.[1]

Fun Fact: Did you know that the smog was so bad in Beijing they almost didn’t have the Olympics?

[6]When gasoline is burned it releases [|carbon manoxide] into the air. Corbon manoxide is very toxic and deadly but import to most technolagy. It is oderless tasteless but aslo releases alot of energy when burned. Gasoline exaust and other pollutants has created [|smog] in many large cities [7]. Aslo cars not running can pollute the air by gasoline evaporating in there tanks.[8]
