100,000 BTU = 1 therm and there are about 135,000 BTU in one US gallon of #2 Fuel Oil, the most common type for home heating. Therefore, 1 US gallon of fuel oil contains 1.35 therms. The actual energy output depends on the efficiency of the furnace or boiler that is consuming the fuel.

It depends on the formulation of the gasoline (for example how much ethanol is added), but it's about 114,000 BTU {see GGE table in related Wikipedia link}.

GGE is a National Institute of Standards term used to help compare different fuel energy capacities.
