Subject: RE: BS: Creeping gas prices
"Gasoline" - we know that means the same as "petrol", and that it's "gas" for short, but we don't use the word much.

Now as well as petrol and diesel cars there are cars run on what's called liquefied gas - so I was wondering what Americans would call that to distinguish it from the ones using gasoline.

And when you are cooking the turkey in the oven, do you call the stuff you are heating it with "gas" as well?
