One drop of gasoline can power an iPhone if it were possible.
A container of gasoline primarily contains chemical potential energy. This energy is stored within the chemical bonds of the gasoline molecules. When the gasoline is burned, this potential energy is converted into thermal energy (heat) and kinetic energy (movement), which can be harnessed to power engines and vehicles.
Gasoline is a form of chemical potential energy. When gasoline is burned in an engine, it is converted into thermal energy (heat) and mechanical energy (movement) to power the vehicle.
Chemical that changes to heat that changes to mechanical.
Yes, gasoline is a form of thermal energy because it can be burned to produce heat. When gasoline is combusted in an engine, the heat energy is converted into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.
No, energy stored in gasoline is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Gasoline must be burned to release the energy stored within it, converting it into kinetic energy.
Gasoline is (or at least was) an abundant source of energy. Combustion of gasoline is an exothermic reaction that releases a significant amount of energy that can be harnessed. It's also cheap compared to other fuel sources, and has one of the highest energy return on investment (EROI - how much energy do you get based on how much you invest) ratings.
Gasoline is potential energy.

According to Wikipedia, "Gasoline contains about 42.4 MJ/kg ... Gasoline blends differ, and therefore actual energy content varies... by up to 4% more or less than the average" Please note that that's the energy content per kilogram of gasoline; only a fraction of this is converted into useful energy in a car engine.
Gasoline can generate roughly 20K BTU/lbm. There are 6 lbm per US gallon.

Nothing "creates" energy. The chemical energy in gasoline can be converted to electrical energy by burning the gasoline in an internal combustion engine that's connected to a generator.
A gasoline engine converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.
there are chemical energies in gasoline
Gasoline is a Mechanical energy because gasoline can make cars move and cars are moving things.
Yes, gasoline is a form of thermal energy because it can be burned to produce heat. When gasoline is combusted in an engine, the heat energy is converted into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.
