The flammablilty of liquids is measured by flash point this is the minimum temperature in which a spark will ignite it. Gasoline which is a mixture has a flash point of around 0 degrees C. One of the most flammable liquids, Diethyl ether has a flash point of -45 degrees so is much more flammable than gasoline.

Why does gasoline ignite?

Gasoline ignites because gasoline is flammable. (simple answer) A more detailed answer would be. Gasoline produces flammable vapors at a much lower temperature than almost any other 'common' chemical. It is the vapors that ignite rather than the chemical itself. Also Gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Any 'Flammable' chemical will ignite in the presence of an open flame or spark if there are sufficient fumes.

Is gasoline more explosive than gas?

In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane. In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive. Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
