We use gasoline because a small volume of it stores a relatively large amount

of chemical energy.

(Also, if you have some gasoline in a jar up on the shelf, then it has some

potential energy relative to the floor, just like a jarful of milk, molasses,

flour, or pennies has.)

Is energy stored in gasoline is an example of kinetic energy?

No, energy stored in gasoline is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Gasoline must be burned to release the energy stored within it, converting it into kinetic energy.
