naphtha


Explanation:
Naphtha это ни в коем случае не нефть. Это именно бензиновая фракция, т.е. углеводороды выкипающие в том же диапазоне температур, что и бензин. Название gasoline fraction тоже правильное. Однако бензиновую фракцию, получаемую при атмосферной перегонке, чаще называют naphtha. Gasoline - это чаще товарный продукт (нафта после очистки, смешения с др. компонентами и т.п.).
