Pure gasoline is a mixture of several hydrocarbons (just carbon and hydrogen) with ideally most of the hydrocarbons being octane (several types of hydrocarbon having eight carbon atoms).

The gasoline sold as vehicle fuel has many additives (e.g. antiknock agents, detergents, lubricants, stabilizers, oxygenates, dyes) added to the gasoline mixture to make it work better in the engine.
