Gasoline itself does not do so. Nitric oxide can be formed in gasoline engines, and it can act as a catalyst in the decomposition of ozone... however, it's fairly reactive and not likely to survive to reach the ozone layer (in fact, it reacts with hydrocarbons to produce ozone; unfortunately, it does so at lower levels where we don't want ozone).

What is the material that causes the destruction of the ozone layer?

The destruction of ozone layer is caused by chlorofluorocarbons. These compounds initiate a chain reaction in the ozone layer which destroys these molecules.


Is methane destroying the ozone layer?

Methane has no effect on the ozone layer. Ozone cannot get to the carbon atom, so they coexist happily. However, oxygen in the stratosphere does experience a chemical reaction with methane. Emissions of methane are transformed into water, according to the formula CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2(H2O). Ozone is O3, so it is unaffected.
