If you mean an unique molecule, sugar is a pure substance.

Gasoline usually contains several closely-related branched alkanes with a total of 7 to 9 carbons. There may be other additives to help combust it, such as MBTE.

I'm going to say yes, but there are many different types of "sugars"

Gasoline is a mix of hydrocarbons. ...anyways, there is no chemical formula for gasoline.
