Tar and gasoline are both hydrocarbons, and so tar is fairly soluble in gasoline, which means that it will dissolve in it, and you can then wipe it off. There are safer cleaning products to use than gasoline however, which is extremely flammable and dangerous to work with.

Gasoline is a solvent that breaks down the tar's adhesion to the surface, making it easier to remove. When gasoline is applied to tar spots and allowed to sit for a short period, it helps to dissolve and loosen the tar, allowing it to be wiped away more easily.
