Petrol or gasoline is made from the lighter parts of crude oil, and is simply more volatile than kerosene or diesel, because the molecules are smaller. In some countries including the US, the grade of gas is varied winter to summer, to make it volatile enough in cold weather and not too volatile in hot.

What is the change of state when petrol is drying up?

When petrol is drying up, it is undergoing evaporation. Evaporation is the process in which a liquid changes into a gas when heated. This process is driven by the liquid molecules gaining enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together in the liquid state.
