Petrol (gasoline in US) is a mixture of hydrocarbons with additives such as ethers and aromatics. Sometimes ethanol is also present. The elements present are principally carbon and hydrogen contained in hydrocarbons such as isoctane and some oxygen in methyl tert-butyl ether and perhaps in ethanol.
