Cos it evaporates!
If you go down to the local camping shop and pick up a bottle of 'gas' and shake it, it will sound and feel like liquid, that's because it is
It only becomes gas when decompressed and mixed with oxegen

Hope that helps!!

That's because it's pressurised, its a Boyle's Law thing.

Petrol is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure.

But petrol does evaporate

It is indeed volatile at room temperature, however not very. That would make the use of inernal combustion engines impractical.

What's laundromat short for.

I would assume that laundromat is short for automatic laundry.
Then again, the USA moves in mysterious ways.

Not to get into a "battle of the words" with you again JP...

But I think we Yanks call it gas because that's a shortened form of gasoline.
