Gas as in gasoline? It is a blend of chemicals and not just any one compound. The only metal is lead in old gas that's no longer available afaik. It's a mix, but if left alone for any amount of time it will split into different levels of chemicals, like oil and water but it's more blended like a rum and coke mix.

it's non-metal. it's  hydrocarbons like sugar, wood and coal.

it's not an element nor compound, it's a mixture of various hydrocarbons. mostly paraffins and aromatics.

since it's not a compound of course it's not at the level of molecular nor ionic.
