I'm editing this answer because it was incorrect: alcohol that is used for fuel IS usually made from petroleum. While the ethanol in beverages is made by fermentation of grains or other sugar sources, the ethanol that is produced for fuel, solvents, and other industrial purposes is made from the petroleum product ethylene, which is cheaper than fermentation. This is accomplished by ethylene hydration, represented by this chemical formula: C2H4(g) + H2O(g) → CH3CH2OH(l)
Methanol (another gasoline additive and also racing fuel) is produced from the methane in natural gas.
It would be appropriate to call both of these fossil fuels.
