Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Reactio of gasoline combustion and forming carbon dioxide:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Balanced chemical reaction of forming carbonic acid from carbon dioxide and water in the clouds: CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃.
