No, "benzine" and "benzene" are not the same thing.

* Benzene is a chemical compound with the formula C₆H₆. It's a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet smell.

* Benzine is an outdated term for petroleum ether, a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It's a colorless, flammable liquid with a gasoline-like odor.

While both are flammable liquids, they have different chemical compositions and uses.
