First of all , to correct your English grammar; 'Is gasoline an element, compound or mixture? '

NB The first letter 'a' is dropped . The second word 'is' is dropped; Thirdly, when any noun begins with a vowel use the indefinite article 'an' . Finally, when listing nouns use a comma between nouns except when using a conjunction 'or'.

To answer your question, gasoline is a compound. It is an hydrocarbon combining the elements hydrogen and carbon. It is definitely not a mixture. It is also known as petrol /

Its basic chemical structure is n-Octane CH3(CH2)6CH3 .It is usually reformed to 3-ethy-2-methylpentane at the oil refinery, and it is this reformed octane that is sold as gasoline/petrol. n=Octane has many other isomers.
