By "gas" do you mean "gasoline" or "the third state of matter besides solid and liquid"?

If the first, there are several popular aviation fuels: 100LL aviation gasoline, Jet A and Jet-A1 (which are 100 percent very pure kerosene), Jet B (which is 70 percent unleaded gasoline and 30 percent kerosene), JP-4 (50 percent gasoline, 50 percent kerosene), JP-5 (same thing as Jet-A, used on aircraft carriers for safety purposes) and JP-8 (a purified form of ultra-low-sulfur diesel). What you use depends on the airplane you have and whether you're getting the fuel from a civilian or military supplier. There are also some really off-the-wall fuels like 145-octane avgas, which is very hard to get because only World War II fighter planes need it; and JP-7, the fuel needed for the SR-71 spy plane.

If the second, oxygen and nitrogen are the two main gases.
