Dawn dish detergent????

I was just reading an article on the Gulf oil spill clean up and noticed something that surprised me. Dawn is a petroleum based detergent. Many of our members have stated that they use Dawn to clean their trailer roofs. (Myself included) All the warnings for RV EPDM roof material say"Avoid the use of petroleum products."
Have we been doing more harm than good????
On commercial EPDM roofs (black) we always used unleaded gasoline to prep the seams for gluing and to clean an area for patching??
Does anyone else have any other info on this subject???? Sometimes I even scare myself when I start thinking, Hank
