Gasoline is made up of chains of hydrocarbons while the atmosphere is mainly comprised of light gases.
Proof:
Pour a cup of gasoline on the ground, it displaces the lighter atmosphere.

What makes gasoline heavier than water?
Gasoliner is NOT heavier than water. If you mix the two compounds , then allow them to settle. You will see that gasoline is on top of the water. ; Hence it is lighter (less heavy). Scieintifically, the density of gasoline is less than the density of water.
Is gasoline heavier than mercury?
No. Mercury is a liquid metal and is more dense.
What is heavier gasoline or mercury?
mercury
Is it always true that the molecules of dense liquid are heavier than the molecules of lighter molecules?
NO. Water has a density greater than gasoline, but gasoline, octane anyway, has a greater molecular mass than water molecules.
Does water sink to the bottom of a gasoline tank?
Yes, because water is heavier then gasoline
What occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere become heavier than the air surrounding them can hold?
precipitation
If gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Will they ignite or explode if they find a spark or open flame?
Gasoline is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, most of which produce vapors that are denser than air.
What kind of fluid will obey Bernoulli's principle?
liquids and gas that are visible and heavier than atmosphere. :3
Why does not Co2 form the lower layer in the atmosphere?
CO2 weighs 44 and it is heavier than Nitrogen and Oxygen...it is denser than Oxygen still it is able to mix with other gases in the atmosphere
If water get in you gas tank will the gas sink to the bottom?
Water is heavier than gasoline, it will pool at the lowest point of the fuel tank.
Why does gasoline ignite?
Gasoline ignites because gasoline is flammable. (simple answer) A more detailed answer would be. Gasoline produces flammable vapors at a much lower temperature than almost any other 'common' chemical. It is the vapors that ignite rather than the chemical itself. Also Gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Any 'Flammable' chemical will ignite in the presence of an open flame or spark if there are sufficient fumes.
Carbon dioxide gas is heavier than both nitrogen and oxygen. Why does it not form the lower layer in the atmosphere?
