In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane.
In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive.
Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.

Are gasoline fumes heavier than air?
Bottled LPG is heavier than air That why it is recommended to place the gas bottle outside of the cabin. Any gas leaks from the bottle being inside, would collect in the bottom of the boat causing a very explosive mixture
A substance added to gasoline is found in the wells of people who live miles away from a gas station is this an example of point source pollution or nonpoint pollution?
If the only source of the gasoline is that one gas station, then it is point pollution. Nonpoint pollution sources can include leaking vehicles, but a large spill is more than likely from the gasoline station. .
Is chlorine gas explosive?
No
What are ethanol's explosive limits?
no is a natural gas
What is the main product of an explosive eruption?
gas
Is it true that natural gas is cleaner burning than gasoline?
Yes because gasoline put more pollutans in the air than NATURAL gas
Why is it more likely that a nearly empty gas tank could explode?
Fumes. More explosive than the gas itself.
What is a natural gas vehicle and what is natural gas?
Natural gas is a cleaner and more efficient form of fuel than gasoline. There are many kinds of vehicles that run on natural gas, and gasoline vehicles may be converted to do so. They are slightly more expensive than gasoline vehicles, but they save you a lot of money on fuel, and are safer for the environment.
Is gasoline more dense than both helium and hydrogen?
Much more dense. They are the two lightest gasses in the universe, and gasoline is a liquid, which is always denser than a gas.
Will an explosive eruption have more gas and be more dense than an explosive flow or would it be less gaseous and less viscous?
if the volume is bigger than the other gass and the gass is flamable methan, yes it will be more dence than the other when explodes or is ignited, the reason is that the gas will have less time to spread.
Is transporting gas or liquid more expensive?
Gas is a liquid, unless you are referring to Natural Gas which cost more to transport than oil which is used to manufacture gasoline.
Does hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
No they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt more explosive.
Is gasoline a depressant or hallucinogen or stimulant?
It's not. Gasoline can poison you and kill you.
Does water vapor affect how explosive a volcano is?
Yes. More gas trapped in magma leads to a more explosive eruption. Water vapor is the most abundant gas in magma.
Why is gas typically cheaper than electricity?
For vehicles, electricity has a lower cost per mile than gasoline. For home use, electric heating units are cheaper than those that use oil or a mix of oil and gas for home heating. Overall electricity can be created in more ways than gasoline so there are more sources of it whereas gasoline and petrol production is based on the cost per barrel of oil.
Can you make a sentence using the word potent?
There is an explosive greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
What are the pros and cons of diesel vs gas generators?
Diesel generators are generally more reliable than gas powered ones. Diesel fuel is a bit more cotly than gasoline but oes further.
