Type Gas Pump into Google News get mostly american articles.
Type Petrol Bowser in Google News and get Australian articles.
Americans/UK mostly call it Gasoline and Australia we call it Petroleum.
Short for GAS for Gas Pump, Petroleum short for Petrol Bowser (some may use Petrol Pump but I feel that is uncommon around here)
It depends on where you were bought up which determines the term your likely to use.
