Teflon is inert to gasoline and all petroleum products. The problem with Teflon is it cold flows under pressure so that when tightened (when wrapped around your fitting) it will relax eventually and probably not seal properly. This is not something you want where gasoline can leak.
If you are running natural gas or propane, gas teflon tape. Otherwise, any white teflon plumbers tape is fine.

No, teflon tape is not sticky and that's for a good reason. -Most people think of teflon tape as a sealant. However it was originally intended for plumbing use as a sealant AND a lubricant so you can get a tighter connection on the pipe joint.
