I hope gasoline doesn't harm the paint on my new Tacoma as I had to remove some tree sap and used that. I sort of \"assume\" that a gasoline vehicle shouldn't get skin rash from gasoline?? immediately washed it off however.

In general, no, gasoline or even stronger solvents like lacquer thinner, brake or carb cleaner or acetone will not damage fully cured urethane clear coats.
I'll routinely use gas or one of the above to remove road tar, decal or trim glue/residue on paint, clear,and gel coat. I wouldn't use anything stronger like xylene or Mek.

Go buy some \"Bug and Tar\" remover. Should be readily available. May want to re-wax the area after you use it though.
