Gasoline is more volatile than diesel oil, Jet-A, or kerosene, not only because of the base constituents, but also because of additives. Volatility is often controlled by blending with butane, which boils at -0.5 °C.

@Nitish.
The specific gravity is inversely proportional to volatility i.e. if any substance has low S.G then it will be more volatile and vice-versa.

Additives mean simple to say fule adding some chemical component. For example CH4.

@Ajay.
To find specific gravity, water is always the standard fluid.

Its specific gravity also lower than other so that it's light.
