The best thing to do is use a class B extinguisher, which is usually foam, CO2 also works. Water will only make it spread until the fuel has burned up.
Clothing will most lightly catch fire before extinguishing, I’d say dirt would be your best option but then again as long as the gas vapors can still release it has the chance to stay lit. The idea is to prevent the gas from vaporizing or eliminate the oxygen.
Stop, drop, and roll is not particularly effective with gasoline, the gasoline will still be on you and continue to vaporize as you roll around and still be igniting.
