No - petrol combustion is a rapid oxidisation which is an exothermal reaction... it creates heat, and heated air expands. The fuel (petrol) is made of a composition mostly comprising hydrogens, carbons, a little sulphur and nitrogen. Air contains mostly nitrogen, and about 1/5th of air is oxygen capable of causing oxidation in the right circumstance.
The gasoline/petrol fuel is changed in this chemical reaction, broken into component parts and reforms as Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen and a fair bit of oxides of hydrogen... or water vapour (the only non-nasty part of the exhaust) although this water is superheated steam at that point.
A poorly tuned petrol engine will also spit out unburned petrol as a vapour only where not enough oxygen was present at ignition. That is the only part of petrol that evaporates and only when it is not working right.

What kind of action is cause of air pollution?
Gasoline is burned by a car engine
When gasoline is burned in engine is mass lost?
No, because of the law of conservation of mass.
Is fuel filter the same as charcoal canister?
No. The fuel filter filters the liquid gasoline that is pumped to the engine.The charcoal canister traps the gasoline vapors from the fuel system so they can be burned in the engine.No. The fuel filter filters the liquid gasoline that is pumped to the engine.The charcoal canister traps the gasoline vapors from the fuel system so they can be burned in the engine.
Which kind of action is a cause of air pollution?
Gasoline is burned up by a car engine
Where does the gasoline burned in a car go?
It comes out of your exhaust, in the engine it combusts making your car propel forward, the vaporized gasoline exits your exhaust.
Is it legal to swap from gas to diesel?
You cannot burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine period. A gasoline engine will not run on diesel. So legality is a mute point. A gasoline engine and diesel engine are totally different in design and the way fuel is burned. The fuels are not interchangeable.
What does gasoline evaporate into?
co2 or h2o
Can algae gasoline be burned in an internal combustion engine?
Yes according to a very good article @ WIKI
