No. Gasoline and the car battery are unrelated; gasoline is for combustion, while the battery primarily powers the startup.

If the vehicle's alternator charges properly and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can typically last over 3 years. Below is relevant information about car batteries: 1.
