Fuel oil is thicker than petrol because it has a higher viscosity and density. Fuel oil is used in heating systems and diesel engines, while petrol is used as a fuel for gasoline engines in cars.
Petrol evaporates faster than water at room temperature. this is because the boiling point of petrol is 95oC and water's boiling point is 100oC. As the boiling point of water is higher than that of petrol, petrol evaporates faster as it achieves its boiling point before water does.

From this side of the Atlantic, no. As I understand it, petrol refers to the product used to fuel automobiles? Then the same product would be gasoline in the US.

But for all practical purposes, petrol and gas are the same substance.
