petrol is basically a mixture of hydrocarbons - i.e. it is almost 100% organic. the question doesn't really make sense. though i suppose the answer you might be looking for is octane - that being one of the more prominent hydrocarbons in the mixture and one of the more 'famous' due to petrol being given octane ratings

Strictly speaking there is very little octane in petrol since straight-chain octane has an octane rating of zero. However, there are many branched hydrocarbons in petrol such as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane which contain the same number of carbon atoms as octane.
