Note that this is "gas" as the term is typically used in the US -- short for "gasoline", not "natural gas".

Thank you, I was indeed thinking natural gas.

I try and say "petrol" IRL because of this; British English has that one right.

You can call it gasoline. Only gas is ambiguous.

Also not the chemical warfare type gas they've been using!
