I grew up in Arizona around plenty of macho truck people and never heard “petrol.” I suspect an expat.

I don’t think so. Been living in Seattle for almost 8 years, spent a lot of time in CA and Oregon as well. The only time I ever heard word “petrol” was in british media.

“gas” is ambiguous, especially when there are CNG vehicles on the road.
