1. A thickened organic liquid comprising an organic liquid and a polymeric rheology modifier, wherein the organic liquid is includes less than 10 wt % of gasoline and diesel fuel based on a total weight of the organic liquid, and wherein the polymeric rheology modifier is obtained by co-polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising:
10 to 80 wt % of at least one alkyl (meth)acrylate; and
at least one of the following monomers:
5 to 70 wt % a bicyclic (meth)acrylate ester different from the alkyl (meth)acrylate, and/or
10 to 40 wt % of an aromatic vinyl monomer
up to a total of 100 wt %, wherein the weight percentages of the monomer are based on the total weight of all the monomers.
