Your opinion, but mine is that better than half a century of common usage *does*

Its a regional thing.

I've never heard anyone refer to any kind of car gasoline as white gas in the

Likewise in the northeast. We call gasoline gas, we call kerosene
kerosene, we call diesel diesel and we call white gas white gas. It
really is pretty straightforward. :-)
