An Art Project

i've been working on a art project where i take poly styreen blocks and melt them in gasoline. yes i know this makes Napalm. but i don't care. what i'm looking for is the destruction of the block. when experementing with this some one told me that melting styrofoam in gasoline also produces Cyanide gas. But this doesn't make any sence.
In the old days when CFCs were used to make styrofoam i could understand that being released, but CFCs are no longer used.
Does any one know the chemistry behind this? i've looked online but i couldn't find any thing.

Yes, i will post a video of the project when i'm done.
