Like oil gas has kind of the same ingredients as oil so it like floats up instead of sinking to the bottom of the surface. Hope this works for whatever reason you needed it :)

Is gasoline miscible with water?

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. They cannot interact through the same intermolecular forces and therefore they cannot dissolve each other. 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.

Gasoline is hydrophobic because the molecules are non-polar. Only polar molecules are soluble in water.


Does sugar dissolve in gasoline?

Usually, it does dissolve, but when it doesn't, I can come up with two reasons: 1. The water is too cold since an increased temperature increases the solubility. 2. The water is already saturated with dissolved sugar (or something else that you can dissolve in water). This is when all water molecules are 'occupied' with sugar molecules so that there are no more free water molecules who can make a hydrogen bond with the sugar. The warmer your water is, the higher the solubility is.


Why gasoline can dissolve sticky stuff?

Allot of sticky stiff is made form organic compounds (compounds made mostly out of Carbon). Many organic compounds repel water and thus can not be dissolved in water, to dissolve them you therefore need an organic liquid such as gasoline.
