Gasoline does not attract water and does not mix wth water, ethanol does mix with water quite freely.
The following is a quote from this site; Entropy and Solubility
Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons, including hexane. Gasoline and water do not mix because the nonpolar hydrocarbon molecules would disrupt the water in such a way as to produce a structure that was actually lower entropy; therefore, the mixture is less likely to exist than the separate liquids.
I do not understand any of it so please, no questions.
