It burns quicker because when it is sprayed, the oxygen particles (0) completely overwhelm and surround the petrol particles. Oxygen is a compulsory supply in order to make something burn. And the reason for why petrol does not burn quickly when it is in a bowl is because the Oxygen particles only surround the surface of the petrol rather than surrounding the whole thing like when it is sprayed. ()-> a circle -> oxygen particles collide from all sides of the droplets sprayed-> burns quicker |_|-> petrol in a bowl-> oxygen particles can only collide into the surface of the petrol-> consumes more time to burn the petrol.
