Remember the rule: Like dissolves in like.

It means that polar molecules dissolve in polar and non-polar dissolve in non-polar. The other way is not possible.

Water is polar.

Both Gasoline and motor oil are non-polar, thus neither of them will dissolve in water. they will seem to mix at first but if you let the mixture settle for a couple minutes you will see two separate layers.

Gasoline and motor oil dissolve in each other however, because they are both non-polar.
