Who was the first person to discover gasoline in the world?

It is difficult to answer this question accurately, but China is one of the first countries in the world to discover, exploit and utilize oil. China has a history of using oil for more than two thousand years. In ancient China, oil was mainly used in five aspects: ① for lighting; ② Used as lubricant; ③ Used in medicine; (4) for the army; ⑤ Used for ink making, etc. But on the whole, the development of ancient petroleum technology in China is extremely slow, and the development and application of oil are limited to the exploitation and use of ready-made crude oil, and the source and geological conditions of oil have not been studied.
