Of course it does.

Theoretically you can convict every substance into every state of aggregation as far as it is possible to generate the necessary pressure and temperature.

Gasoline is a mixture of organic compounds with boiling points from 100°C to 180°C.
Organic compounds and of course gasoline evaporate at low temperatures compared to another substances. For instance metals and salts have extreme high boiling points over 2000°C.

But indeed you can smell gasoline at the petrol station, when you're fueling your car, because the molecules of the liquid phase are exchanging with the gasiform phase. A little bit of every liquid evaporates at normal temperature.
