At http://www.chemcool.com/regents/physicalbehaviorofmatter/aim2.htm 
they give the boiling points of the common components of gasoline, a mixture of
hydrocarbons with from 5 to 12 carbon atoms, as between 40 and 200 degrees
C (from about 100F to around 400F).  That sounds far more likely to me.  Maybe
MSDS are including some much more volatile components, but the partial pressure
would prevent them actually boiling off, though they will evaporate quite
quickly in warm weather.
