It takes the oxygen in about 1100 cubic feet of air to burn one gallon of gasoline. Most fires are limited by the flow of oxygen rather than fuel.
I think it was the engineering department of Purdue which had competitions to quickly light a grill full of charcoal at their annual picnic. The competition was cancelled after they used charcoal, a lit cigarette for ignition and a container of liquid oxygen: the grill disappeared in the resulting fire.
