Crude oil is actually made up of many different products with different boiling points. Fractional distillation separates the products from one another.
Crude products are impure and have many impurities in it . so , there is a need to crystallize the crude product.
Petrol is a term that makes up many different products. The products are made from petroleum or crude oil. These products have qualities that make them slick rather than sticky which is why many of them are used as lubricants and solvents.
It's the other way around. Oil is made into plastic during the riefining process, when crude oil is refined to use in your car, and many other products.
Eventually, crude oil will run out. Other sources will need to be discovered to replace crude oil and the many products produced.
Once crude oil is refined there are a variety of marketable products for profit. Crude oil can only be used directly as a fuel in certain steam engines, once refined there are many more options.

No, crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons as they are found in the earth. Gasoline is one of the many products derived from crude oil through catalytic cracking, distillation and so on. It contains mostly heptane and octane.
It is good to have many feedstocks.
Crude oil is a mixture of compounds called hydrocarbons. Many useful materials can be produced from crude oil. It can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation, and some of these can be used as fuels. Unfortunately, there are environmental consequences when fossil fuels such as crude oil and its products are used.
Crude oil can be refined to make a plethora of petroleum product. Kerosene, gasoline, petroleum jelly (commonly known as Vaseline), lubricating oil, and heavy fuel, and many other products. Crude oil contains many different substances which all separate during the refining process.
No Diesel is one of many things made from crude oil.
