There are several consumer formulas with sulfuric acid in them. There are many more available in the I&I (Industrial & Institutional) realm.
Those are not, BTW, anywhere close to as dangerous as gasoline.
The flammability of gas is the obvious big one, but the vapor exposure & toxicity of gas is far higher than even concentrated (93, 96, or 98%) sulfuric.
I'm on board that gasoline is the most hazardous of every day substances.
