Regulations in the US and Europe limit the benzene content in gasoline to 1% by volume.
What is the difference between gasoline and benzene?
Gasoline (or gas aka. petrol) is the word used in North America for fuel used in automobile. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, highly flammable and one of the basic petrochemicals. Benzene is used as additive in gasoline to improve octane rating but now limited due to its known carcinogen. However, in many countries, gasoline has a colloquial name derived from that of the chemical benzene e.g., GermanBenzin, Dutch Benzine, Thai Benzin. In other countries, especially in Latin America where Spanish-predominates, it has a colloquial name derived from that of the chemical naphtha e.g. Argentine/ Uruguaian/ Paraguaian nafta. However, the standard Spanish word is "gasolina".
What products contain benzene?
Benzene is a natural component of fuels such as gasoline, and additional benzene is sometimes added to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Benzene was widely used as a solvent in chemical laboratories, but has mostly been replaced by toluene for this function in the years since the ability of benzene to cause cancer was demonstrated. For this reason it has also largely been removed from consumer products. Benzene continues to be used as a raw materials in the manufacture of other chemicals, such as styrene, phenol and cyclohexane. In these applications, when used efficiently, the finished product is essentially free of benzene. Benzene is also used in the manufacture of rubber, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, explosives and pesticides.

Is gasoline a gas in chemistry?
Gasoline is a combination of several different liquid hydrocarbons, including octane (trimethylpentane), toluene, benzene, and others. It is designed as a motor fuel for internal combustion engines.
How do you convert weight volume to volume volume?
to calculate the weight from the volume, you always multiply by the density. example: If the benzene content is 2.5%v/v, then in 100mL of gasoline, you have 2.5mL of benzene. If the density of Benzene at 15.5°C is 0.81g/mL, then 2.5 x 0.81 = 2.0%w/v.
What are two non polar things that will mix?
Such things are indeed numerous in number. eg. Benzene-toluene, gasoline-grease etc.
