While isolating gasoline compounds from oil (fractional distillation) is a physical process, most gasoline is also chemically altered to provide a stable motor fuel. This is primarily by catalytic conversion.
Is oil heavier than water?
The short answer is, it depends on which oil you're talking about. There are many different things that are considered "oils". For the most part, an oil is: hydrophobic (is repelled by water / doesn't mix with water), a liquid at 25°C, and is soluble in (mixes with) organic solvents. How 'heavy' something is is determined by density. One way to describe the density of a liquid is by giving its 'specific gravity', which means how heavy is it compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1, so any oil with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water, while any oil with a specific gravity lower than 1 will float on water. Most things that people are likely to encounter that they call 'oil', such as motor or vegetable oil, are lighter than water, but there certainly are oils that are heavier than water.

What is a gasoline fractionator?

Which is more dense motor oil or gasoline?
Motor oil will float on water. That makes water denser.
