Why is gas gas?

I believe red matter is just an emulsion or gel, like the stuff used in lava lamps. It's odd properties come from the fact that it's lava.
 
I'm not sure if the word came from "vaseline" because "vaseline" was first trademarked in 1872 while "gasoline" is recorded in 1865.

This is an outright lie. If gasoline had been available in 1865 Doc Brown would've been able to get hold of some in 1885.
