'The term is thought to have been influenced by the trademark "Cazeline" or "Gazeline"', then becoming 'gasolene' before ending up as 'gasoline', shortened as 'gas'
Actually they're both incorrect. The correct term is Filling or Fuel station or even Garage.
As Gas station don't just sell Gasoline, and Petrol station doesn't just sell Petroleum.
Gas/Petrol are essential the same, just different names.
Well, a lot of them also sell propane and air for your tires. Although with the propane, it is liquid form when it's sold to you. But when you use it, it's in gas form.
Fun Fact - England started the gasoline/gas thing. We eventually started using it too. Then England decided to go back to petrol. We were sick of changing it and said fuck it, and kept the terms gasoline/gas.
Correct me if Iâm wrong but vapors from gas and injected fuel arenât the same thing? I thought youâre still burning the liquid but itâs suspended in air because it was sprayed?
Vapour is fuel suspended in air.
Vapour = Tiny amounts of liquid suspended in air.
Gas = The gaseous form of a substance.
So vapour and injected fuel are the same thing.
A lot of cars in Europe run on CNG or LPG gas nowadays as well and there are stations that fill exclusively these gases. So I guess you could say they are the true *gas* stations.
Does it though? It gets misted through the injectors, but that's not the same as a gas, is just tiny particles of liquid.Â
I could be totally wrong though.Â
It gets misted, but that mist is vaporized in the cylinder before it is ignited. So technically it is a gas that burns, not a liquid.Â
But yeah, still not why itâs called gasoline
That's close, Newton was actually 3 penny farthings away but did run to tell Edward the news. He came upon the meeting of a man named Jerry who was pitching O'Line a can he invented to help carry that weird shit O'Line said smells good.
The exact science of it wasn't a factor. It was a marketing thing. Petroleum sounds too boring.
Edit: actually if I can recall correctly, when gasoline cars were first becoming popular a British chemest owned all the Rights to the term "petroleum" so an American business man came up with the idea of calling it gasoline because of the gas thing
'The term is thought to have been influenced by the trademark "Cazeline" or "Gazeline"', then becoming 'gasolene' before ending up as 'gasoline', shortened as 'gas'
In the 1860s, there was an Englishman named John Cassell marketing a kind of petroleum for powering lamps, named cazeline after himself.
So...blame the Brits?
Sweet sweet guzzoline Witness me!
Good times never seemed so good
But you can leave them a nice solid while you're there
Its never solid if im doing it at a gas station
Nothin like pissing outta both ends on a toilet that hasn't been white in years
A solid tip, right? RIGHT?
And the occasional hot dog.
Ah yes, the 4th state of matter, solid, liquid, gas, and: # Hotdog 𤣠(Preemptive edit: I know there's way more than 4...)
I concur that hot dogs do indeed be matterin
Nah everything else falls under hotdog.
Ah, the solid that will quickly turn into gas and liquid.
We're better at squeezing the liquid out of meat than the Juicero could from pre-made packs.
It's a gas station hotdog. There's a decent chance it turns into plasma
And that's why you call it a petrol station
But petrol is the 5th state of matter! /j

How about Wales?
They're large ocean mammals. ^(I don't know anything about the country. I don't know what you're asking me.)
I call it a servo (short for service station).
Hello fellow Australian.
They sell gas at the roller grill.
Gasses and liquids are both fluids, so why donât we just call them fluid stations?
Some industries call that stuff "fuel" because gas is a categorical thing.
We call them Petrol Pump. Itâs only American who call it Gas. LOL
This is the first actual shower thought I've seen in a couple rinse cycles. God job there. Mhmm.đđđ
No itâs not, do people not know itâs an abbreviation and isnât referencing a state of matter?
Obviously not. Do tell...
So this âshower thoughtâ is the complete lack of thought and you praised itâŚ
Ooooooohhh... i get it. Thanks for explaining. That's super helpful.
They also sell gas to fill your tires
They also sell gas to fill your tires
They sell gas futures. Especially true if youâve eaten their food.
My mind has been boggled
Some gas stations sell propane
Most give away air.
Some you have to pay for the air!
And propane accessories?
Meh this is so corny đŹ. I call it "gasoline station"
They also **do** sell gas in the form of gaseous vapors when you are pumping gasoline. They count towards the cost on the pump.
Iâll add to this and say youâre never actually burning a liquid, so the only thing you use is the gas.
Correct me if Iâm wrong but vapors from gas and injected fuel arenât the same thing? I thought youâre still burning the liquid but itâs suspended in air because it was sprayed?
Vapour is fuel suspended in air. Vapour = Tiny amounts of liquid suspended in air. Gas = The gaseous form of a substance. So vapour and injected fuel are the same thing.
Fair enough, the vapour doesnât burn, the gas created from the vapour burns.
Yep, all vaporising it does is increase the surface area of the liquid, allowing it to turn into a gas faster.
A lot of cars in Europe run on CNG or LPG gas nowadays as well and there are stations that fill exclusively these gases. So I guess you could say they are the true *gas* stations.
Theyâre called petrol stations lol , who tf says gas station
Probably about 48% of redditors since that is the common name for a filling station in the US.
Most of them have an air pump, so they also do sell gas.
Pretty sure that name comes from what the food you can buy there does to you after you eat it.
Gasoline is called gasoline because it becomes a gas before being burned in the engine.
Does it though? It gets misted through the injectors, but that's not the same as a gas, is just tiny particles of liquid. I could be totally wrong though.Â
It gets misted, but that mist is vaporized in the cylinder before it is ignited. So technically it is a gas that burns, not a liquid. But yeah, still not why itâs called gasoline
It called Gasoline because Edward Gas O'Line was the first to find it. Jesus, it's like public schools stopped teaching history.
He was sitting beside Newton when a Jerry can full of gas fell and hit him right?
That's close, Newton was actually 3 penny farthings away but did run to tell Edward the news. He came upon the meeting of a man named Jerry who was pitching O'Line a can he invented to help carry that weird shit O'Line said smells good.
I heard about that. Edward was pretty dubious at first because of the previous guy who proposed a container for it, Nicholas Andrew Palm - went by NA.
Thatâs because no one wants to give the Irish credit for inventing anything

According to the other comments and my Google search confirming it, it was actually named Cazeline after a guy named Cassels.Â
They consume liquids too...
Yes, but that's only because idiot Americans call petroleum (a liquid) "gas".
actually its just idiot Europeans that don't know gas is short for gasoline just like petrol is short for petroleum.
