Since gasoline is a mixture and not a single element there is no exact temperature that it will freeze. To make all the components become solid it would take between -200 and -300 degrees Farenheight. Diesel on the other hand is less refined and will freeze without additives at arround -40 to -50 degrees F. At -20 degrees diesel will not flow enough to be usefull.

I'm not shure, never heard of gasoline freezing ,the water it absorbs however is still the same, 0 C or 32 F i also remember reading somewhere that without winter additives it will not keep an engine running below -40, something the U.S. army discovered up here while pushing through the Alaska highway
