The fuel for these early engines was a relatively volatile hydrocarbon obtained from coal gas. With a boiling point near 85 °C (185 °F) (n-octane boils at 125.62 °C (258.12 °F) [4]), it was well-suited for early carburetors (evaporators). The development of a "spray nozzle" carburetor enabled the use of less volatile fuels.

This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately.
Natural gasoline is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture condensed from natural gas, ... Its boiling point is within the standard range for gasoline, ...
Gasoline prices go from 36 cents a gallon in 1972 to over 50 cents a gallon in 1973. March 18, 1974 - At an OPEC meeting, seven members lift the ban on exports to United States.
Gasoline is the most widely used liquid fuel. ... but the fuel's low boiling point requires the fuel to be kept at high pressures to keep it in the liquid state.
Water boiling at 99.3 °C (210.8 °F) at 215 m (705 ft) elevation. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid [1] [2] and the liquid changes into a vapor.
Octane is a component of gasoline and petroleum. Under standard temperature and pressure, octane is an odorless, colorless liquid. Like other short-chained alkanes with a low molecular weight, it is volatile, flammable, and toxic. Octane is 1.2 to 2 times more toxic than heptane. [5]
