Some older Americans still refer to fuel as "ethyl". The name refers to an old fuel additive that contains lead. So, even though we can't buy gas containing ethyl any more, some folks still call it that. This is similar to some old people still referring to aluminum foil as "tin foil", because there actually was tin foil when they were kids.
Regarding "juice", I do not hear it used to refer to gasoline. Sometimes electricity is referred to as "juice" though.
