I would use a thermocouple in the gasoline to a data-logger. You can get simple data-logger from omega ( http://www.omega.com/subsection/temperature-humidity-data-loggers.htmlTemperature & Humidity Data Loggers )
It will be safe to put in the gasoline, just be sure to use a good fume extraction hood that is suited for combustable vapours and keep all metal in contact with the gas grounded and bonded to prevent sparks.
