There are, but tiny amounts. Gasoline is mostly hydrocarbon molecules,
which like the name implies, is only hydrogen and carbon atoms. There
are many of different types of hydrocarbon molecules in typical
gasoline. However, there are also trace amounts of other compounds in
there, some of which contain oxygen atoms as well as sulphur, nitrogen,
some metals ...

schlackoff, you are even a worse chemist than you are a sailor. I suggest you
ask some high school kid to explain what happens to octane when you remove the
oxygen.

go stand in the corner.

You should cut back on the amount of ethanol you drink, Jaxass.

incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

Specious. You know what that means? The question is whether there's
oxygen atoms in gasoline. The answer is yes but a small amount.

Jox, you're the perfect example of what happens to a person when you
remove the oxygen.
