The word 'gasoline' is derived from popular brands of petrol fuel that were available when the car first went mainstream.

Sort of like how everyone calls movable waste containers "dumpsters" or standard cotton-tipped applicators "q-tips" or adhesive medicated bandages "bandaids" or bio-lubricated semen receptacles "your mom".

it evaporates fairly quickly and is (hopefully) atomized during injection, so it's not that far off

Might as well ask why we can call it 'petrol' without an alcohol group

>The American English word gasoline denotes fuel for automobiles, which common usage shortened to the terms gas, motor gas, and mogas, and thus differentiated that fuel from avgas (aviation gasoline), which is fuel for aeroplanes. The term gasoline originated from the trademark terms Cazeline and Gazeline, which were stylized spellings and pronunciations of Cassell, the surname of British businessman John Cassell
Surely the people from the island of "biros" and "lycra" can understand this. Limeys call things by genericized trademark terms way more often than we do in the US.
