The flammablilty of liquids is measured by flash point this is the minimum temperature in which a spark will ignite it. Gasoline which is a mixture has a flash point of around 0 degrees C. One of the most flammable liquids, Diethyl ether has a flash point of -45 degrees so is much more flammable than gasoline.
Things like aceton, and dimethyle ether are extremely flammable and have low flash points.
Thermite burns at 2500C.
Oxyacetylene welding torches burn at 3500C.
A plasma cutter can operate up to 25,000C.
Oxygen itself is not flammable at all. Oxygen is what is needed for flammable materials such as gasoline to burn.

Did you ever try to light it? Did you see the signs next to the gasoline pumps? They all indicate that it is very flammable.
Usually organic compounda are more flammable than inorganic
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
Flammable AND inflammable both mean that something can easily catch fire. Gasoline is a flammable liquid, and is inflammable. Something that will NOT burn is nonflammable.
I know for 101% sure that gasoline is the most flammable charcoal lighter fluid contains Kero and Naphtha that would be second,kero is 3rd, and paint thinner lets say Gum Turpentine an old school paint thinner is almost as flammable as kero so its 4th. But i know you can use Gum turpentine to fuel kerosene lamps.
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.
Because hydrogen is EXTREMELY flammable and can burn from a wide range of air concentrations. It is more flammable than gasoline.
Gasoline is very flammable.

Diesel fuel itself will burn but you really can't call it flammable. When you add gasoline to it, the flammability greatly increases with the amount of gasoline you add.
Not all liquids are flammable. Some liquids that are flammable are gasoline, alcohol, oil. Liquids like water are not flammable.
Because water is not a flammable substance and gasoline is.
It's flammable.
It's much more efficient (higher BTU rating in diesel than in unleaded gasoline), and it's much less flammable.
Tar and gasoline are both hydrocarbons, and so tar is fairly soluble in gasoline, which means that it will dissolve in it, and you can then wipe it off. There are safer cleaning products to use than gasoline however, which is extremely flammable and dangerous to work with.

yes gasoline is flammable. thats why if you have a car accident and you are still in the car and it chucks into the pumps then your car will ghet on fire. hope this helps i like squishy noses
