While alcohol cleans many things it may also harm many things. The gasoline may melt your carpet depending on it's chemical makeup and the alcohol may also melt your carpet. Gasoline odors will eventually go away but if you add alcohol to it, it may prolong the odor and makes for a potentially dangerous carpet. Gasoline vapors and alcohol vapors are extremely flamable. It you want to get rid of the gasoline odor then I would suggest that you scrob it with mild soap and water. I would advise against using any mechanical carpet cleaner or vacuum cleaner because a spark from the motor on either machine can ignite the vapors. That will take care of the gasoline odor and every other odor except for the smoke from the fire. Just get a bucket of warm soapy water and a scrub brush and clean the area. Soak up as much of the soapy liquid as you can with dry rags or old towels and let it air dry.
