Gasoline have more API gravity and lowest density among the given list of distillates.

Birmani kumar said:   6 years ago
Absolutely right, because heavier API gravity indicate a lower crude oil.

Rajesh Kumar said:   4 years ago
API gravity is an invers measure of a petroleum liquid specific gravity.
