Gasoline has a specifc heat of 0.50
BTU/lb/deg F and a vaporization point of about 350 deg F

Gasoline's endpoint is 350 F... half of it is vaporized by about 180F... and
it starts vaporizing just under 100F... remember, it's a mixture of
hydrocarbons. Of course, you get more bang for the buck than just the
specific heat... you get the heat of vaporization as well, eh?
