Small sticks of dynamite?

Dynamite is essentially a shaped charge. I should explode more upward than outward, while a gasoline can explosion would not only explode up, but would explode outward and throw burning gas all over the place.

How bout that?

That sounds good to me, also when a hero uses gasoline I imagine they're dousing that space and all the surrounding spaces with gas, then you set off the actual can... so really it's like the gas can explodes taking out it's space, and the result of the explosion is that the spaces around it aren't 'exploding' so much as igniting from an explosion.

If you look at the gas marker it kind of looks like the gasoline has been flung about wildly.

From a rules standpoint dynamite is a ranged instant kill. Gasoline has to be ignited from afar and is therefore more dangerous to the hero.
