The solubility of something is determined by the ability of the mixture to break the chemical bonds of the two substances involved. The attraction between sugar and gas is not sufficient to break the bonds and therefore sugar will not dissolve in petrol.

Will salt and sugar dissolve in petrol?

Unlike salt and sugar, petrol is a nonpolar substance, meaning that the electrons in its molecules are evenly distributed, rather than concentrated in some areas to make the molecule negatively charged on one side and positively charged on the other, as is the case with polar substances. Polar substances, as well as ionic substances such as salt, tend to dissolve more effectively in other polar substances, such as water, while nonpolar substances tend to dissolve well in nonpolar substances, such as oil. So while salt and sugar dissolve well in water, and oil might dissolve well in petrol, salt and sugar will not dissolve to any great degree in petrol.
