#hydrocarbon an organic compound containing only carbon and hydrogen
supertype: #organic_compound__organiccompound any compound of carbon and another element or a radical
subtype: #gasohol a gasoline substitute consisting of 90% gasoline and 10% grain alcohol from corn
subtype: #gasoline__gasolene__gas__petrol a volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons (hexane and heptane and octane etc.) derived from petroleum; used mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines
