The military refers to it as motor fuel or more specifically motor gasoline and most folks know how the military is about abbreviating things. This is their acronym for motor gasoline and has been for many years. The military had to supply mogas, avgas, JP4 (jet fuel), and diesel fuel for many years so they had the acronyms. Now days, almost all army vehicles use either diesel or JP4 but they still use modified civilian vehicles for hauling small groups of people around in various locations around the planet so mogas is still a necessary fuel at times and under certain circumstances.
