Gasoline (or gas aka. petrol) is the word used in North America for fuel used in automobile. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, highly flammable and one of the basic petrochemicals. Benzene is used as additive in gasoline to improve octane rating but now limited due to its known carcinogen. However, in many countries, gasoline has a colloquial name derived from that of the chemical benzene e.g., GermanBenzin, Dutch Benzine, Thai Benzin. In other countries, especially in Latin America where Spanish-predominates, it has a colloquial name derived from that of the chemical naphtha e.g. Argentine/ Uruguaian/ Paraguaian nafta. However, the standard Spanish word is "gasolina".
Benzene is a natural component of fuels such as gasoline, and additional benzene is sometimes added to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Benzene was widely used as a solvent in chemical laboratories, but has mostly been replaced by toluene for this function in the years since the ability of benzene to cause cancer was demonstrated. For this reason it has also largely been removed from consumer products. Benzene continues to be used as a raw materials in the manufacture of other chemicals, such as styrene, phenol and cyclohexane. In these applications, when used efficiently, the finished product is essentially free of benzene. Benzene is also used in the manufacture of rubber, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, explosives and pesticides.
