Default I am having trouble with the IF function and a compound condition

I have a different twist on the same question. For some cells I need
to leave the current value in the cell alone if the IF premise if
false. So in other words instead of the value being 18, I would like
to not change the value of the cell. Any ideas?

I want to use the IF function to set a value of 54 if A100=369 and
B100="Gas" or A100=391 and B100="Gas". Otherwise the value should be
18.

I used =IF((A100=369 and B100="Gas") or (A100=391 and
B100="Gas"),54,18) and got an error.

I also used =IF(B100="Gas" and (A100=369 or A100=391), 54,18) and also
got an error.

Any ideas?
