Which are the meanings of ガス in japanese?
I'm asking because in English it can be used for either "a substance in a form like air that is neither solid nor liquid:" or for gasoline, the liquid fuel. In Spanish we dont use gas for gasoline, we call it several other names depending the country (nafta, bencina, etc.) Also the main use of the word gas here in my country is to refer specific to the gas for cooking butane.

While it does appear in the Japanese dictionaries with the meaning of "gasoline", I would say it is not common to use it like in English, except for a few special cases like ガス欠｛ã‘ã¤ï½Â(being out of fuel) and ガス代｛ã ã„｠(gas bill*; can be used for both things such as propane gas and for other types of fuel, like gasoline, diesel, etc).
In general I would say that people use the words ガソリン or 油｛ã‚ã¶らï½Â. The latter word simply means oil, but from context one understands what type of oil is meant, that is, any type of petroleum 石油｛ãÂ݋ÂÂゆ} (refined from crude oil 原油｛ãÂ’んゆï½Â), such as gasoline, diesel etc.
Diesel is referred to as 軽油｛ã‘ã„ゆ｠or ディーゼル. ディーゼル is used more when talking about the type of car or engine, whereas 軽油 is used more when referring to the actual fuel, however at e.g. gas station you will see a mix of both.
A gas station is referred to as ガソリン スタンド, and can be shortened in a few different ways, the most common being ガソスタ (63 %), スタンド (~<19 %) or ガススタ (18 %) ( https://autoc-one.jp/news/5001816/ )
*In Japan it is common to subscribe to a refueling service with your local gas station, meaning that they fill up your cars regularly either by coming to your home/work and then send out a bill every month.

ガス actually does means also "gas" and "gasoline" in Japanese, and has more meanings.
The word ガス usually written using kana alone, but it has the Ateji
瓦斯ガス which is rare.
Some definitions from Jisho, a Japanese dictionary:
- gas (state of matter, e.g. poison gas, natural gas)​ Usually written using kana alone, From Dutch; Flemish , From English
gasoline; gas; petrol​ ...
