The yanks insist it is short for gasolene, but it is actually short for the name of the guy who marketed it in their country. Like saying "hoover" for vacuum cleaner or "wettex" for sponge.

It always sounds wrong to me as we have both gas (natural gas) and liquid petrol (refined oil) powered cars, as well as deisel cars. What they call gas is a liquid. But no one said language has to make sense I guess. Diesel, btw, is also a name based on a persons name.....

Sadly the other commenters are more interested in spreading depressing facts. Sometimes it is pleasant to read something uplifting.
