Words that rhyme with Gasoline
The phonetic facts first: gasoline is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, and the line rings out through a nasal. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. In a song, the word is a household-word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the perfect column comes up empty, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why gasoline rhymes the way it does
In our engine, gasoline registers as a three-syllable word on the full-throated /aษช/ (/i/) that ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 6,682, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Gasoline works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
