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.
