I grew up in the UAE, it is definitely called petrol there. Petrol stations literally call it petrol.

In China their word “qìyóu” translates to steam/gas oil. I’d say it falls under gasoline, it’s just in mandarin.

In Finnish, the word is derived from „benzene“, but there is a separate word for benzene: *bentseeni* „benzene“ vs. *bensiini* „gasoline“. I’m sure this is true of most other European languages labeled as „benzene“.

Estonian uses `nafta`, `bensiin`, `diiselkütus`, `petroolium`, `massuut`, `parafiin`, etc — but each of them means different kind of fuel. The two main varieties you’d meet in a gas station (_tankla_) are the diesel fuel and benzene (_bensiin_). Foremost relevant here due “naphtha” and “petrol” on the map (_which sound like cognates_) — eg: Argentinians and Indians might end up looking for something very different, whereas Estonians (_and others I guess_) in a gas station of Argentina or India may feel reluctant about the fuels offered for them.
Broad umbrella term for fuel (_including timber and coal for instance_) is: `kütus`; the given varieties on the map: „vedelkütus“ (_liquid fuel_) and `fossiilkütus` (_fossil fuel_) or „vedel fossiilkütus“
In colloquial language the fuel often isn’t specified for vehicles, and is typically simply refered by `küte` or `kütus` (_whether it’s benzene, diesel, petrol, etc_). People also tend to think of oil as something that’s for greasing rather than fuel, and gas as vapor.
Gasoline contains approximately 8–10 carbon atoms, while diesel fuel contains 12–15. So diesel can release more energy when burned!
Gasoline is composed of alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, whereas diesel fuel contains oxides and small amounts of impurities that affect the completeness and stability of combustion.
The two also have different ignition and optimal burning temperatures.

Inadvertently learned that Cyprus was probably colonized by a certain someone.
Italy: Gas-oil (gasolio) is the word we use for the fuel to be used in diesel engines, also nafta (which sound like naphtha) was common a common name for gasolio.

Benzene is such an odd choice because it is the name of a completely unrelated chemical under IUPAC nomenclature (the international authority that names chemicals among other things).

In Vietnam it’s “xăng” which came from the second syllable of the French word “essence”
