Hydrogen and helium.
The main gases that make up the sun are hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen makes up about 74% of the sun's mass, while helium makes up about 24%. Other gases, such as oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen, make up less than 2% of the sun's mass.
Hydrogen and Helium . When all the hydrogen is used up , it is thought that the helium will convert into carbon, and the Sun will become a Red Giant. At this late stage it will swallow up all the inner rocky planets including Earth; but that is millions of years into the future.
Technically the fuels are plasma rather than gas (Kind of a midway between solid and gaseous phase), but the primary fuel of all stars is hydrogen while the primary byproduct is helium which is what fights against gravity.
Hydrogen and helium make up the majority of the sun's mass, with hydrogen accounting for about 74% and helium for about 24%. Other elements like oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen make up less than 2% of the sun's mass.

No, the two main gases in the Sun are hydrogen and helium. These two elements make up about 98% of the Sun's mass. Oxygen is present in much smaller quantities in the Sun's atmosphere.
Oxygen and nitrogen - 80% nitrogen and 19% oxygen. :)
