No. The two liquids are immiscible, like oil and vinegar in salad dresssing. You can shake them up and they'll "mix" for a while, but will separate after a time when left standing.

Crude oil is taken out from oil wells and then it undergoes fractional distillation. At the topmost level of the distillation chamber petroleum gas (commonly known as gasoline) is obtained. This is obtained in the gaseous state and is then condensed under high pressure to form liquid petroleum/petrol which is used as a fuel for light vehicles and for a few other purposes.

Gasoline with ethanol can contain water, but this is very unhealthy for a car's fuel tank. Normally, regular gasoline separates from water similar to how water and oil don't mix.

It can, and it's a contaminant if it's in there.
