      You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.

      Yes, you can. A match or a lighter will ignite gasoline vapors. A smoldering cigarette will not.

      A cigarette won’t usually light gasoline, if you’re quick and it’s cold enough you can plunge a lit match into gas. Diesel is practically difficult to ignite, I mix it with gasoline for a good, safer firestarter with a longer burn
