I didn’t include this in my original answer, because the first post seemed pretty specific about representing gas directly, but if you’re also interested in the production of gas, there’s Petrolia by Emily Richardson as well, which we screened at FLEX back in 2006:

Speaking of FLEXfest, I see it didn’t make it in This Week in the Avant Garde, but I’m down in Florida now for the 11th annual festival, the first that I haven’t run myself, and I feel compelled to report that it’s really a well programmed affair under the new management (Alisson Bittiker et al.). Just three more programs to go: 3, 6, and 8 pm. If you’re within driving distance, you might consider hopping on the road now...

In the center of that pool of black gold was a real gold ingot worth tens of thousands, which was stolen. Probably not Riffifi style, but bold nevertheless considering Cartier’s no doubt extensive security. I liked to imagine that Gary did it himself. I’m sure the facts are online somewhere.

That’s the closest I can think of to a direct (re)presentation of gasoline as art object.
