Water is not soluble in gasoline. Water is made up of very polar molecules while gasoline is made up of a collection of different nonpolar hydrocarbon molecules.

The above answer is correct, however even insoluble things will dissolve to a certain extent. Gasoline will dissolve about .1% water, or 1 ml per liter (about 3/4 of a teaspoon per gallon). Gasoline containing ethanol will dissolve about 1% water.
