1. Selling gasoline without permission may involve the crime of illegal business operation. The state also strictly controls the sale of gasoline, and individuals and units are not allowed to buy or sell gasoline without the permission of the relevant competent departments. If the situation of reselling gasoline does not constitute a crime, it may be stopped by the local administrative department of commerce in conjunction with the relevant local departments, and administrative penalties shall be imposed on the relevant personnel or units. If the circumstances are serious and disrupt the market order, the crime of illegal business operation can be punished.

2. Legal basis: Article 225 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)

Whoever, in violation of state regulations, commits one of the following illegal business operations and disrupts the market order, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also, or shall only, be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income. If the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years, and shall also be fined not less than one time but not more than five times for illegal gains or confiscation of property:

(1) Operating franchised or monopolized commodities or other commodities whose operation is restricted by laws and administrative regulations without permission;

(2) buying and selling import and export licenses, import and export certificates of origin and other business licenses or approval documents stipulated by laws and administrative regulations;

(three) without the approval of the relevant competent departments of the state, illegally engaged in securities, futures, insurance business, or illegally engaged in fund payment and settlement business;

(four) other illegal business activities that seriously disrupt the market order.

Second, selling gasoline is usually sentenced to several years.

Selling gasoline is suspected of "illegal business operation" and is generally sentenced to more than five years. Gasoline is a monopoly product stipulated by law. Only gas stations with business licenses can sell gasoline, and individuals or gas stations without gasoline sales licenses cannot sell gasoline. Therefore, selling gasoline will generally be sentenced to more than five years in prison, fined or confiscated.
